Welcome
EveryDay LCC may be a new twist on how some think of ministry. Congregations are shifting from thinking of ministry as something to be organized to understanding ministry is what they equip people to live for Every Day, Everywhere and in Every Relationship. The emphasis is less on the gathering and more on the sending.
Peer Ministry Leadership is the cornerstone for EveryDay with the addition of several amazing opportunities to expand the ability of households and the empowering of adults who have dramatic effects on the faith lives of children and youth.
Please follow the Everyday Blog for ongoing updates, resources, articles, stories and references. The Peer Ministry FaceBook page is a great resource for interacting with others and posting what you are learning and doing. Watch for ongoing Webinar online workshops to learn how various offering can equip your congregation.
