We value equipping every member to serve.
Clifton's ministry philosophy is that the elders and deacons seek to equip and facilitate the work of ministry by the entire congregation. While we want to encourage the discovery and use of an individual's particular gifts, we also ask our members to guard against thinking this is the only way to serve. The work of the church gets done by a combination of people helping in areas where they are gifted and many, many more people helping out in areas where they don't have a particular "gift!"
