Shepherding Elder Ordination Service

Posted on by

september 13 | 6:30 pm | At the overland Park campus

Elder Ordination Service

Pending approval of the nominees, we will celebrate the ordination of Legacy’s newest shepherding elders. The service will include worship and an intentional time of prayer at the Overland Park Campus. All are invited!

The men listed below have completed the examination process as prescribed by Legacy’s Elder Manual. They are found in compliance with all biblical and local qualifications prescribed in Scripture and the Elder Manual. Legacy’s current Elders are unanimously recommending these men to be ordained as Shepherding Elders of Legacy Christian Church.

If any Legacy Christian Church member knows of any reason why any of these men should not be ordained, you are asked to submit the information in writing, along with your name, in a sealed envelope addressed to the Chairman of the Elders. The information must be delivered to the church office by Friday, September 11.

We believe a local church does not select its leaders, but rather is to recognize men whom the Holy Spirit has called and equipped for leadership ministries. This process of recognizing and affirming whom God is raising up among us is an issue of eternal importance. Please keep all of our elders and, in particular, these new candidates in your prayers.
 

Shepherding Elder Candidates:
Kevin Brown, Lee’s Summit Campus
Jacob Gunn, Overland Park Campus
Kevin Foxworthy, Olathe Campus

What is a Campus Shepherding Elder? 

At each Legacy Campus, a team of Shepherding Elders is responsible for the spiritual oversight and shepherding of God’s people on their campus. This includes all matters of pastoral care and church discipline. The Campus Pastor will function as a first among equals on this team and will be responsible to lead and equip them for effective service. As shepherding is the primary function of elders, all Legacy Elders are expected to continue in active service.   

Shepherding elders serve an indefinite term. Every December, they will be asked to recommit themselves to service for the coming year. We believe God raises and calls elders into service. Shepherding elders should serve until they no longer feel called to the office or cannot fulfill their responsibilities. 

Shepherding elders who fail to fulfill their assigned responsibilities will be first admonished and possibly removed from eldership by consensus of the other elders.

Grief Share – Lee’s Summit

Posted on by

Tuesdays beginning September 1 | 6:00-8:00 pm | Lee's Summit Campus

Register for grief share Questions? contact mike

Grief Share is special weekly seminar and support group to help rebuild your life after losing a loved one, such as a family member or friend.

• Begins Tuesday, September 1 and will meet for 13 weeks. Register at any time during the course of the 13 weeks.
• You must be 18 or older to participate.
• No childcare is provided.
• Cost: $20 payable by cash or check at the first meeting.

Meeting Details:

Legacy Christian Church – Lee’s Summit
Room 103
2150 East Langsford Road
Lee’s Summit, MO 64063

Grief Share Synopsis

“This is by far, the hardest thing I have ever had to do since becoming a Christian. Oh, I have had troubles like we all do, but this is completely different. Nothing else comes close to this experience in terms of the level of personal pain and suffering.”

These are the words shared by fellow Christ-follower who suffered the recent unexpected death of a spouse. In response to the shattering reality of the loss of a loved one, Legacy Christian Church Lee’s Summit Campus will be offering a Grief Share small group dedicated to persons in our church and in our community who find themselves in this unwanted circumstance and would like to meet with others who are in the same situation and learn how to process and navigate this hard road together.

The Grief Share Program features biblical, Christ-centered teaching that focuses on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one. The video teaching for the group will feature nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories of people, followed by a small group discussion facilitated by a trained Legacy volunteer. Past participants have related how helpful the information and follow-up discussions were to them.

Many grieving people find they are only beginning the work of healing when friends or family have returned to their daily life routines. Too often people, including Christians, tend to stuff their grief instead of allowing it to do the God-given work for which it is intended. Don’t allow fear of what others may think to keep you from what could help you. Confidentiality is very much a part of this program. Your bereavement experience may be recent or not so recent. You will find encouragement, comfort and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family member, or friend.

No matter what the cause of your loved one’s death, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling. You will learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief and that you do not need to live in bondage to certain emotions. You will learn valuable information about facing your new normal in life and renewing your hope for the future. Even if you yourself have not suffered such a loss, please pray about sharing this information with others in your life who may benefit from participating in this group.

symbis premarital counseling | offered by Legacy christian church

Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS) is a comprehensive marriage program specifically for couples. Designed by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, who have spent 25 years researching marriage, SYMBIS is used by counselors and churches worldwide.

With the help of a certified SYMBIS facilitator, couples take an assessment, and then walk through their assessment results and SYMBIS materials with their facilitator to help them apply what they learn and enjoy intimate discussions along the way. 

This fee for SYMBIS is $60, which will cover the SYMBIS assessment, the SYMBIS book, and a separate workbook for each individual. After completing the form, couples can expect to be contacted by their counseling facilitator, who will help you get started with the SYMBIS assessment. From there, you will be able to schedule and plan counseling meetings together.

Make your marriage everything it is meant to be!
