Creating A Storytelling Ministry
Are you looking for new and compelling ways to bring the Gospel to the contemporary worshiper? Does your contemporary worship service seem similar to your traditional services, only with media and upbeat music? All churches are facing a rapidly changing world without all the tools they need to communicate with today’s seeker. One such tool is storytelling.
Storytelling draws the worshiper into the Message, thus, making it an experience that engages, involves, and inspires the worshiper. This type of worship service may seem a bit “out there,” but it is rooted in the parables of Jesus that He told in the secular context of His time.
This method of worship is extremely popular with younger generations when paired with their style of music, and may be just what your youth program is looking for to engage its members.
Storytelling Courses
Revitalizing Ministries offers two dynamic courses that will assist your staff and lay speakers in incorporating storytelling as a vital part of your worship.
A Story Writing Formula
Learning to write short stories in the oral tradition will enhance any worship format. The course offers an easy approach to capturing your experiences in story form. Each pastor or layperson will try his or her hand at writing a story.
The Art of Storytelling
In this course, you learn how to tell the story, which you wrote or one written by someone else. You will learn how to engage your listener and draw them into the characters and action of your story.
