Our Purpose
You may have seen InScribe's purpose statement on our website:
Our purpose is to minister to Canadian Christian writers by stimulating, supporting, and encouraging them in the advancement of their writing so they can effectively minister to others, promote Christianity, and contribute to the public’s appreciation of the arts.
Note the word "minister". What does it mean, exactly? In its verb form, "minister' means to give service, care or aid. That is what we want to do here at InScribe. It is our purpose!
Ministry Teams
One way to minister to others is to get involved. InScribe has so much to offer, but most of our programs and events take a lot of "behind the scenes" effort. We are a volunteer organization, and as such, we need willing workers. Rather than individuals working in isolation, we encourage "Ministry Teams" - groups of people working together on projects and events. Even if a position appears to be filled, there is still room to come along side and offer assistance or mentorship. Many hands make light work!
We could use your creativity and assistance! Here are a few examples:
FellowScript Team - there are lots of opportunities for proofreaders, marketing, and more! Contact the editor.
Website Team - Always a huge job, we need people skilled and willing to assist in this area.
Communications - How do we stay connected? Through Social media, emails, newsletters... there are many ways to get connected and help with this area.
Contests and other programs - from contest judges to writing group leaders there is a lot to do and many ways to get involved.
Events - Fall Conference isn't the only show in town! We regularly host smaller workshops and special events.
Blogging - Yes! You can be part of our blogging team. We are always looking for fresh perspective, so join the team. We have two blogs - this one, for members new and old, and our Professional Blog on writing, with advice from seasoned authors who are part of our organization.
