Getting Plugged In: The 2026 Ministry Fair
Church leaders often say that “80% of the work is done by 20% of the people.” That, however, has not been the case over the past 90 years at College Church. One-hundred percent of the work is being completed by close to 100% of the people, because we, like Nehemiah’s generation, “have a mind to work” and are being blessed by “the hand of the Lord” to fulfill His mission (Neh. 2:18; 4:6).
The annual Ministry Fair has become a way to celebrate ongoing work and enlist new laborers in the Kingdom. This year’s Fair will take place in the Family Room on February 8th and 15th. Why two Sundays? To maximize the time for members to visit ministry booths while minimizing the traffic flow in the room.
You will have an opportunity to tour our 22+ ministries, first with your Bible class on either Feb 8th or 15th during an assigned 20-minute interval, and another chance to go individually or with your family before or after Bible class on those same dates. In the Family Room you will see displays for Caring and Sharing, Foreign Missions, Women’s Ministry, and many others—even an interest table on new church plants!
A main goal of this year’s Ministry Fair is for every member to “get plugged in” to at least one ministry. But you can also add a second ministry or ask for greater responsibility in your current one. You will be provided a checklist to help guide you and time enough to visit at least three ministries. You’ll even have a chance to update your directory information/photo and sign up for the College Church App.
A second goal of the Ministry Fair is to “get plugged in” to the College Church community. On one of those two Sundays you can share with your Bible class which “smaller groups” you are part of—midweek Bible study, a discipleship Group, home Bible study, or other gatherings beyond the Sunday morning assembly and Bible class. And hear from others about groups that deepen their sense of belonging to our College Church family.
This 3rd annual Ministry Fair has the potential to connect all members to a ministry that fits with their spiritual gifts and meets the needs of the church and world. With 100% of our members committing to do 100% of the work, we can experience the full power of the Holy Spirit within our body as we Disciple 3,000 in 2026.
