The building blocks of our ministry are three-fold. We must reach the lost, teach the saved, minister to all and multiply (grow our ministry and others in our church). The second part of that is Administration, Promotion, Collection Development and Classification and Cataloging to maintain and grow the ministry we are called to serve God through. We must stay up-to-date in all areas of Library Ministry.

So, we offer Library Workshops that include classes in all areas of Library Ministry. My prayer is that you and your library TEAM will attend and make the effort to stay current and relevant! All librarians must change the way we do things as our world changes around us every day, if you are stagnant you will die. I have seen several libraries the past few years that have closed their doors because they were not willing to make the effort to change and grow a vibrant ministry!

It is our responsibility to share with our patrons that we have many items and materials to help them grow in their Christian life and to feel that they can share Jesus with a lost world too. Of course, that means we must have those items on our shelves!
