What is a Genesis Team?
“Genesis” – for many this is simply the title of the first book of the Old Testament. For some members of our congregation and for several churches in Northeast Ohio, this title has a different meaning. Genesis is the name of an exciting ministry to churches in Northeastern Ohio that are small and mighty and ministering to the urban communities in which they are located. Genesis started eight years ago as an outreach program from Promise and while most of the Genesis team members are still Promise members, many others have joined the teams to help in ministering in the city.
Each of the five current Genesis teams has developed a long-term relationship with one inner city church. The teams attend worship once a month at their home Genesis church, often providing music and other worship support services. Over the years, they have also gotten involved in a wide variety of other programs and efforts at these small churches. Involvement in Genesis has given BPC members a chance to really understand urban ministry and Christ’s call to minister to the poor.
Over the years, Genesis has also partnered with Boulevard Presbyterian, Denison United Church of Christ, and West Side United Church of Christ. We celebrate how God has changed us as we have served Him in these places. Contact Deb Griest (440-871-8764) if God is calling you to get involved in one of these partnerships.
