This module lays the foundation of Christian love in congregational ministry: both compassion for the burdens of members and caring for those in the community whose needs can be a bridge for love and the gospel.

This one (or two lesson) Bible study introduces the usefulness of Special Ministries resources for compassion ministry.

Another Compassion Ministry module, a five lesson Bible study, focuses on responding with love to worship visitors such as people returning from prison, those who struggle with addiction or consequences of choices they’ve made. Christians have a special opportunity to offer hurting people the gospel which gives true hope. See “Helping the Hurting with Hope.”
