Every church, without exception, has a ministry philosophy. It may be well thought out and carefully articulated, or simply just assumed, or it may even be based on some entrepreneurial idea. To be specific, a biblical philosophy of ministry is a set of nonnegotiable Scriptural principles that guide all the choices and decisions in the life of the church. How do you know if you attend a church that advocates a biblical philosophy of ministry? What if you are looking for a new church home and don't know exactly what to look for?
