Change is needed
Something needs to change in our world, in our country, in our politics, in our communities, in our families, and in ME. But what is going to bring about that change? It’s not more education. It’s not new laws or new leaders. It’s not a social program, policy, organization, or therapy. Only Jesus and His Power is able to bring about the necessary changes in the world and in me. The Multiply Method is a defined approach to experiencing the life-changing power of Jesus first in our own lives and then multiplying out into the world.
Filosofia do Ministério
Filosofia da Igreja
-
- Pregação do Evangelho. Estamos comprometidos em pregar o evangelho em cada sermão – Pecado. Salvação. Serviço. Dedicado ao foco e repetição da mensagem.
-
- Discipulado. Início lento, crescimento exponencial. Não se trata de bundas em assentos e dólares em pratos. Modelo 1 para 1 em vez de 1 para muitos. Queríamos uma nova forma de definir o “sucesso” de um ministério. Muitas pessoas vão à igreja durante toda a vida e não conseguem articular o evangelho, a mensagem central da Bíblia.
-
- Desenvolvimento de liderança. A liderança é necessária para o crescimento e é ensinada nas escrituras. Scott desenvolveu o 222LS para treinar novos pastores/pregadores/professores. Não se trata de uma pessoa qualificada atraindo uma multidão, mas de envolver mais pessoas no ministério em todos os níveis. Isso foi decidido quando passamos para o nível multicampi. Scott optou por não ser “conectado” por duas razões principais: 1. Isso elimina uma tarefa essencial do pastor de pastorear o rebanho. 2. Pressupõe que ninguém pode pregar tão bem quanto o pregador “estrela”.
-
- Sistemas. Maneira organizada de abordar o ministério para maximizar recursos. Também estamos comprometidos em desenvolver ativos ministeriais que durarão muito tempo (Bible Step, PROS e 222Disciple).
Filosofia Escolar
-
- A demanda por ensino privado está explodindo. De Santis acaba de assinar uma lei que concede às famílias enormes subsídios de $7500 a 11.000 por ano para escolas particulares selecionadas. Temos listas de espera de até 80 famílias. Deus não é ensinado como prioridade nas escolas públicas.
-
- A escola é o braço evangelizador da igreja. A escola é um ministério. Vimos muitos grupos de igrejas escolares se dividirem e serem entidades quase completamente diferentes. Sentimos que a maior necessidade na Flórida é a educação cristã de qualidade e é isso que procuramos oferecer. Fazemos muito pela divulgação, como o Festival de Outono, EBF, programas e estudos durante a semana, grupos de evangelismo, mas a escola é a nossa principal estratégia de divulgação.
-
- A qualidade da educação que oferecemos deve ser a MELHOR. Tudo foi reinvestido na escola. Professores, equipamentos, instalações. Tivemos margens muito estreitas na última década.

We have been averaging a weekly Sunday morning attendance of 130 people and have welcomed 20 new disciples. Our Sunlight Kids program has expanded from just a nursery to include a 4’s and 5’s group, as well as an elementary class. We have seen God move people to serve in various areas, and we are deeply grateful for the many gifted volunteers who generously offer their time each week. We have also been cultivating a close relationship with the Sunlight Christian Academy’s Upper School, recognizing them as significant ministry partners. Please continue to pray that God will use PGA to make disciples and expand His Kingdom in Port St. Lucie.

Ministry Point: Watercress Assisted Living
- Há uma necessidade de alcançar e fornecer cuidados pastorais e serviços de adoração a pessoas com dificuldades de localização na comunidade.
- Ministry Outreach Points has provided mini worship services to nursing homes and prisons. Services will be 35-40 min long with a host, worship, and preaching. Teams have brought snacks and conduct the service, and afterward minister, pray, and get to know the people in that location.
- Nós precisamos da sua ajuda. Se você gostaria de se juntar à equipe em qualquer capacidade, envie um e-mail para jeff@sunlightcc.org
Ministry Point: St Lucie Jail
- We are actively engaged in ministry outreach at the St. Lucie County Jail in Fort Pierce to host evening chapel services every other Wednesday. On average, we welcome between 15 and 30 men to these services. With the dedicated support of our incredible volunteers, we share the gospel, and have witnessed the profound impact it has on these men. Many find themselves in a place of deep need, where God’s presence can work in extraordinary ways. These Chapel services are a time of worship, prayer, and the reading of God’s Word, but they are just the beginning. Our goal is to provide these men with a connection that fosters continued growth in discipleship, extending beyond the walls of the jail. As this ministry expands, we envision one-to-one discipleship as the next step in helping these men not only to know Jesus, but to also make Him known and live a Jesus life!
