A structured, department-powered framework for community reach, soul-winning, and lasting spiritual transformation — built to succeed where past attempts fell short.
"Transform the PM Council into a Ministry Orchestration Hub — coordinating all departments to systematically empower zones for community-facing, soul-winning ministry."
Each zone operates across four pillars simultaneously. Every department is mapped to at least one pillar, so no zone ever lacks support.
Understand the zone's community through mapping, surveys, and needs assessments. Know the people before ministering to them.
Build trusted relationships through prayer walks, social events, home visits, and regular visible engagement in the community.
Demonstrate God's love through welfare projects, health screenings, mentorship, counseling, and targeted service to real needs.
Grow interests into disciples through Bible studies, branch Sabbath Schools, small groups, and structured baptismal preparation.
Each phase builds on the last. No zone is launched before the foundation is properly laid — this is what past attempts missed.
The PM Council itself is prepared first. Every department leader is individually consulted. Liaison Officers are identified and confirmed. A full resource inventory is completed to know what we have before we launch.
The whole church is brought on board. Department leaders are trained on their roles. The Church Board receives a full presentation for approval. The congregation is inspired through a vision campaign from the pulpit and in Sabbath School.
Zones are geographically mapped (15–40 members each). AMO, Dorcas, and the Interest Coordinator jointly lead community mapping — AMO handling community access and liaison, Dorcas identifying households and welfare needs, and the Interest Coordinator tracking existing contacts. Zone leaders are then carefully selected, vetted, and given intensive weekend training before a single zone meeting is held.
Zones launch one per week — not all at once — so each receives proper attention, spiritual celebration, and full departmental presence. Starter resource kits are distributed at each launch.
Zones begin meeting weekly. All four pillars are activated. Departmental support flows systematically to each zone. PM Council monthly reviews track progress and deploy help to zones that need it most.
Zone members are not left to plateau. Monthly training sessions keep skills sharp. Quarterly intensives go deeper. Departments run specialized training in their areas — health education, counselling, children's ministry, and more.
Every zone is monitored weekly using simple 1-page reports. The PM Council uses a Zone Performance Dashboard each month to celebrate wins, identify struggling zones, and adjust support accordingly. Quarterly comprehensive evaluations review progress against targets.
By year-end, zones are self-sustaining. A leadership pipeline ensures no zone collapses when a leader moves on. Year 2 sees zone multiplication. Silverest becomes a model for other churches in this conference.
This is not a PM Department initiative — it is a whole-church movement. Here is exactly how each department plugs in and what they bring to the zones.
Every department appoints one Zonal Liaison Officer — a person who bridges the department and the zones. This is the key structural innovation that previous attempts lacked.
Liaison Officers attend monthly PM Council meetings, carry zone needs back to their departments, and ensure resources actually reach the people who need them. No zone is ever left without a named contact in every department.
Each department also "adopts" 2–3 zones per quarter — giving those zones a dedicated support relationship and ensuring no zone is ever overlooked.
