9Marks Journal: The Church’s Ministries (92 期：教会的事工)

The main gathering and the ordinary means of grace are central to the Christian walk. That said, churches often find other ministries, like children’s ministry and small groups, to be helpful discipling tools. These ministries are healthiest when they relate to and support the whole church gathering. In doing so, the main gathering rightly remains on first, and other good ministries follow its lead. This Journal explores what this paradigm looks like in action on the ground.

如果你在九标志的圈子里呆过，就可能会听到对于教会事工项目的主题存在轻微的怀疑之声。有这种声音是因为我们专注于全教会的聚会和通常的蒙恩管道，我们不希望任何事情分散我们的专注。

话虽如此，儿童事工，青年事工，其他特定年龄段的事工，小组，以及特定性别的事工都可以起到很好的门训作用。那么教会怎样才能利用好它们呢？如果一个教会希望在门徒训练和共同体生活当中一直将全教会的主聚会放在首要地位，那么对这个教会来说，健康事工的标志又是什么呢？

我们向一大批牧师请教了他们的智慧。我们祈祷他们的经验能够服事到你们。
