INREACH MINISTER’S DESCRIPTION
“REACHING ENROLLED CLASS MEMBERS”
1. Actively
participate in class -- an interesting and exciting class makes a good class
great and a great class even better!
2. Greet and welcome members to class. Encourage a warm atmosphere in the class and encourage interaction among all the members. Help make everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, at home and among friends by providing name tags, refreshments, etc.
3. Work with the teacher to plan a fellowship at least once a quarter.
4. Contact absent or inactive members, with phone call and/or a card. Tell them something positive...give a scripture, a word of appreciation, and ask for prayer requests.
5. With the help of other “I” Ministers, contact all members every week. Visit in the home of each member at least once a year. Let every member know that someone cares for them.
6. Inform the church office and class teacher of hospitalization or other major crisis among any member of your Sunday School class.

As the InReach Minister, your responsibilities are:
1. Cultivate -- foster growth, make friends, encourage others.
2. Contact -- get in touch with members via cards, calls, visits.
3. Care -- take care of, pay attention to, look after, keep an eye on, be watchful, protect.
Recognize special days (birthdays, anniversaries) and events in each person’s life through a card, personal note, phone call, or visit. Receiving a note, telephone call, or some other kind of contact can be an important way of involving...or re-involving...a class member.
Whatever your opportunity for meeting the needs of adults, consider that what you are doing for others you are doing “as unto Christ.”
