How Can Women Thrive in the Local Church?

4 Practical Ways to Serve the Local Church

Church Questions is a series that seeks to provide ordinary Christians with sound and accessible biblical teaching by answering common questions about church life. Each volume offers biblical answers and practical applications with the goal of nurturing healthy church practice and commitment.

Believers display the greatness of God’s kingdom to a hostile world when we selflessly serve each other and those around us. In this short booklet, Matthew Emadi explains the vital roles we play within the church. Through acts of service including hospitality, ministry, and evangelism, we bless our communities and long to hear Jesus one day say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Matthew Emadi (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is the pastor of Crossroads Church in Sandy, Utah. Matthew and his wife, Brittany, are the parents of six children.
