Shepherding Elder Gatherings

We gather as a Shepherding Elder community across all our congregations twice a year to spend intentional time connecting, worshiping, and planning for the future of our church. We take time to celebrate what God is doing through our community and share some important updates about Mariners. These times together are encouraging, meaningful and impactful to the unity and effective ministry of our Shepherding Elders.

Child Dedications

We believe that Child Dedication is such an important moment for our families and an opportunity to celebrate and partner with our church in loving, leading, and launching fearless, world-changing kids. Your involvement in this experience makes everything very personal; creating an intentional environment that will inspire courageous decisions for families to put God in the center of their homes.

As a Child Dedication prayer leader, you’ll create opportunities for parents/caregivers to hear words of encouragement and blessing that will challenge them for years to come by coming alongside them in discussion and prayer.

We would LOVE to invite you to be a part of our Child Dedication ceremonies. These dedications are a beautiful experience for parents and families to dedicate their children to the Lord, and we truly couldn’t do it without you.

Trainings

As Shepherding Elders, we help carry the spiritual weight of the church. Several ways that we do that is by performing weddings and memorials as well as serving as Pastor of the Day. We also have a training on our Elder Prayer to equip you for caring for our congregations through healing prayer. If you are interested in being trained in any of these ministries, please see below.

Prayer Cohort Training
The Prayer Cohort is a 12-week experiential prayer training that empowers disciples to fully discover and step into their identity as sons and daughters of the King. In each session, you will experiment with new prayer tools in a safe environment. After finishing the cohort you will be equipped to pray with others confidently by using the spiritual authority delegated to you in Jesus name.
