What can I use the site for?       This website offers collaboration tools for Staff Ministers. There is an online forum in which a person can pose a question or offer up an idea and others can read about it and make comments. There are chat rooms, which only other staff ministers have access to, in which groups of staff ministers can gather together no matter where they are in the world and discuss real-time matters relating to the ministry. There are resources, in which staff ministers can post files, such as Bible Studies in Word format, or presentations in PowerPoint, or VBS plans. These resources can also include web links to websites that hold great resources for other staff ministers. You can peruse all of the resources that all other staff ministers have posted. You can post resources so that only other staff ministers can view them, or such that anyone who comes to staffministry.net can view them. Finally, there is also the directory, where you can look up every other staff minister in the WELS. Most staff ministers have posted their email address, which means you can easily get in contact with anyone else through this site. 2.
