Maintain Godliness

Guest Pastor Derrick Shipley emphasized the importance of church leadership, the example leaders set for others, and the need to pray for those who lead the church. Drawing from 1 Timothy 5:17–25, Derrick explored Paul’s instructions regarding the character and conduct of church leaders, highlighting their responsibility to serve as role models and the importance of accountability when leaders sin.

Derrick reminded us that a healthy church’s DNA is built on healthy leaders who faithfully lead and care for their flock. Following his time in Scripture, he shared the incredible work God is doing in Norway and highlighted the continued support needed to sustain and strengthen this ministry.
