You are exactly right! Jesus is our model here. Liz, I will put on the blogging agenda to write more about this concept. It is how we are attempting to build our church (and other churches are as well), but I don't know how well it has been written about. Thanks Jeff, I appreciate your encouragement.

I am now interested in hearing more about how you are going to put the relationship-based ministry into action. Who is involved? (all?) Where does it take place? (everywhere?) Share more!

I think if we take a look at the life of Christ we might see that His ministry was a bit more relationship based than it was program based. Yet he fed the hungry and healed the sick at every turn. When the ministry starts with the ultimate relationship, the one with Him, it can.t help but be relationship based. Program based ministry is what we are all used to so the concept is hard to break away from but it can be done. I believe you are on to something that will be quite useful in my Marketplace ministry where relationship is truly the key to making a difference. God Bless Relationship Ministry – What a concept!
