Shepherding

This page will be used to house information from the Shepherding Deparment to describe to the City Impact Teams what Shepherding means as it relates to City Impact.

City Shepherds! As you are shepherding your CIT, there are resources at your disposal! You are the eyes and ears in the City for shepherding needs! When a Perimeter member needs shepherding, you can look up their Shepherding Elder in the Shepherding App. Your city shephard has access to this web based application, and can assist. If the Shepharding Elder is not available, connect them to their Area Pastor.

Though your primary responsibility is to Shephard the other members of your City Impact Teams, you may learn of individuals with shepherding needs within your community, and if those needs are beyond what your city team can speak into, please refer to the Shepherding webpage for the pastor on call, and the perimeter-sponsored support groups that are currently available for possible next steps.

Shepherdesses! The City Shepherdess serves the role of representing the Shepherdess Ministry on the City Impact Team. Understanding that the majority of shepherdess relationships are highly confidential, the City Shepherdess will share appropriate information she receives from the shepherding department regarding situations that might benefit from community involvement and update the City Team on ministry events and opportunities. The City Shepherdess will be available to communicate needs brought to her attention by the City Team with the Shepherding Staff for care assignments by the church. The City Shepherdess will communicate information regarding support group opportunities, widows events, and statistics shared by the Shepherding team to the City Team. The City Shepherdess will commit to praying for the City and City Team Leadership and encourage the team as they labor together for the Glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom.

FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS FOR KELLY - is the Shepherdess role limited to the support of perimeter members? or does she have responsibilities to care for all?
