Ministry Groups
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” - John 20:21Ministry Groups
Outreach and in-reach ministries provide opportunities to share the love of Christ and practice looking beyond yourself to the people around you while you connect with and serve your community. You don’t need to be part of a group to serve God and others. You can simple start by sharing whatever you have to offer with your neighbor. However, St. Edward’s offers a variety of ministry groups that encourage fellowship within and beyond the church campus.
