OUTREACH & MISSIONS

Beltway Park is dedicated to presenting Jesus Christ personally to this generation, to mobilizing as many as possible to help in this task, and to the training and equipping of believers for their part in fulfilling the Great Commission. As citizens of Gods kingdom, we are called to love, worship, and obey our Lord, to love and serve His body, the church, and to present the whole gospel for the whole person throughout the whole world.

SCHOOL OF MISSIONS
School of Missions is the umbrella ministry for all shortterm mission teams endeavoring to share the heart of Beltway Park by partnering with local churches in the Nations of the earth. The emphasis of the school is team preparation, understanding cross-cultural ministry and service to the local churches we partner with. The School fosters unity of purpose between all of the teams being sent out from Beltway Park. During the year the School of Missions will provide three sessions for mission teams to worship and pray together, and hear a short teaching on various pertinent topics. Participation in these sessions is for all team members. We encourage everyone to experience the hands-on ministry of sharing Jesus through a mission trip. Whether using drama, hammer, stethoscope, playing baseball or engaging in one-on-one evangelism, youll have the opportunity to reach the lost and brokenhearted.

School of Mission Meeting 1

Sunday / February 2 / 11:25am This meeting is for those signed up, planning to sign up, or those needing more information about 2014 Mission teams.

LIFE GROUPS

What is a Life Group?

Real life change rarely occurs in isolation. Thats why at Beltway you hear a lot about getting together in small groups. Gathering literally all over Abilene and the Big Country, people from every stage of life meet in homes to follow Jesus more closely. You might not think that engaging truth or ministering to one another could be so informal yet be so intensely rewarding. Simple. Spiritual. Encouraging. Life Transforming. To learn more about our Life Group ministry, search online at beltway.org/lifegroups, or speak to one of our Life Group pastors

How do I get connected with a Life Group?

Is God nudging you to get connected with other believers, to find a small group that shares and encourages you in your spiritual journey? GroupLink is just the event to avoid the awkwardness of just showing up and to find the best group for you. GroupLink is a specific, two hour experience designed to help individuals and/or families connect with a small group. Life Group leaders are present who either want to start a brand new group or simply add to their existing group. Through the course of the evening, time is given to visit at length with these leaders, to discover what their group is like, and to discern whether their group is a great fit. By the end of the event, almost all have found a Life Group that truly excites them. Our next GroupLink event is scheduled for January 12 at 6:30pm in the Worship Center. On designated Sundays, we also have GroupLink Central in the South Foyer of the church available to help specific demographics (e.g. young marrieds, older families, singles, college students, men, women, etc.) connect with a Life Group.

DNA Revolution
Saturday / April 5 Once a semester on a Saturday morning the Life Group Team facilitates a time of strong encouragement, ministry, vision-casting, and skills training to equip our leaders for hosting a Spirit-led, heart-transforming Life Group. As a ministry, we want all our leaders to carry a common vision or DNA that maximizes our effectiveness in fostering genuine community, spiritual growth, and in developing servant leaders.
