partnership
Church and community PARTNERSHIP:
​
Within the body of christ we are many. Many people, nations, doctrines and churches. Ultimately our collective aim should be seeking to be a representation of christ individually and collectively, working together to advance the kingdom of God. Following Jesus is all about relationship. We’re serious about taking steps to strengthen our relationships with Christ and our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Hence, we believe in partnership working. At times all ministers, ministries and church may find them self under resourced or without the right resource. We seek to offer practical partnership support and Counselling to Pastors, ministers and churches.
​
When there is a gap in resource or respite is needed, we will assist as best we can. Our pastor and ministers can preach, lead prayer, organise ministries and support them in getting up and running, lead worship, offer administrative support, social media support, technical knowledge or guidance and much more. If you are a ministry, minister or church in need of our services please get in touch.
​
House of Faith Ministries aims to establish a sense of connection, provide an opportunity for spiritual growth, accountability and encouragement; and foster personal support that reflects a holistic approach to community belonging. Our goal is to build Community and expand into the neighbourhoods where members, family, friends and non-believers live; serving the body, mind and soul of all.

support at this time, Covid-19and blm:
This is an unprecedented time, so we hope you are well and taking care of yourselves.
With all the news and buzz about the Coronavirus (COVID-19 virus), it can be difficult to get a handle on what is true and what is false, and we know this can cause a lot of anxiety. Being asked to stay or work from home, home schooling and being away from the church building can be stressful and disorienting, although we also recognise it could be an opportunity for some much needed rest from the daily commute and run around.
​
We hope that at this time, our faith will stand as we find new and creative ways to take care of ourselves, spiritually, physically and emotionally. Put things in place that can support the uncertainty of the situation is vital and so we are here to help you to think about these things and in some case help provide solutions.

what the bible says about partnership :
• Ecclesiastes 4:9 •
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.”
When individuals work together, they can double their strength and get much more done as a team. They also reap the value of having worked in unison, thus creating harmony instead of disorder. Working as one people begins with the efforts of each person, as they work with another person.
​
• Proverbs 27:17•
“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”
A team has checks and balances, one person watches the other one’s back. They help them if they falter or lose sight of the goal, just like in friendship. A good friend isn’t someone who always agrees with you, what you do, or what you say. A real friend is someone that is willing to challenge you, to be better as a person. A team player encourages his fellow team mates to be better players. Teamwork and friendship both work in very similar ways.
​
• 1 Peter 4:10 •
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
Each person has something unique and special to offer as a human being, so we must recognize the many gifts that have been created through God’s love, together our team has many options and great things to share with one another.
​
• Ephesians 4:11 •
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.”
Just like the many cultures and peoples of the world have their great minds, speakers and teachers. So does each team have great players, some destined to greatness and some that will be leaders taking their team to high places. Teamwork relies on everyone knowing the position and fulfilling it.
​
• Ephesians 4:32 •
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
Teamwork also requires that we have unconditional expectations upon ourselves, because we have faith in God’s love. Teams build upon a foundation of truth and love, so that they can achieve excellence. This loving truth is sustained by the forgiveness of God. So we must follow God’s example and forgive one another.
