Frequently Asked Questions

What ministries are part of the Spirit of the Heartland team and who are the ministers?

Total Ministry FAQ
Our ministers include both team ministers who are called volunteers and ministers who are paid staff. We have ministers who are lay persons and some who are priests or deacons. Some ministries, for example preacher, may be done by lay person, priest, or deacon. Other ministries require a person to be in a particular "order." For example, to serve as a sacramentalist, one must be a priest.

Are team ministers on the team forever?

Total Ministry FAQ
No. Time spent on a Ministry Team will vary. Ministers may "retire," take extended leave time, or change to a different ministry. New people may enter formation/training every three years, if a call is discerned by the congregation. Commissioning of ministries may include a covenant for a certain time period to be determined between minister and community.

Are the team ministers primarily "administrators" ?

Total Ministry FAQ
Only if you view a traditional parish priest as primarily an administrator. Just as a rector would, Team Ministers will do some supervising, supporting, and training for the other ministers in our congregations. For example, a Pastoral Care Minister on the Team would help with the preparation of lay Eucharistic visitors (LEVs); or the Liturgist would support the musicians and help train the acolytes.

What happens when the team ministers get tired or burned out?

Total Ministry FAQ
They may retire or take time off. Temporary vacancies on the team may be covered by the Pastoral Mentor, shared by other team ministers, or a staff person may be hired temporarily for that ministry.

If our team ministers may only serve our parishes, what about diocesan events and programs?

Total Ministry FAQ
Team ministers are allowed to serve in ministries of our parishes, such as the Living Waters and Morris Campus Ministry. By special permission of the bishop, they may serve at other diocesan events such as Cursillo. Canon-9 priests and deacons may vote at convention and attend clergy conference.

What about our old ministries?

Total Ministry FAQ
The lay ministries that were done in our congregations in the past will continue. We still need altar guild ministers, acolytes, lectors, etc. The Ministry Team is to fill the place of the seminary- trained priest, not to take on all the work of the church. Total Ministry means just that ? "total." For a team to work, the ministry of all the baptized members of a congregation is necessary.

Why do some people have two ministries?

Total Ministry FAQ
No individual Spirit of the Heartland congregation is expected to fill all the roles. Even with all our congregations together, some roles initially may remain unfilled. The Pastoral Mentor or other staff may be hired to fill temporary ministry vacancies. Again, it's time to trust that the Holy Spirit will provide what's needed for our mission and ministry..
