Question
Hello Sir,
   I hope you can help. We are starting a new ministry and need a name and tag line. Our primary functions would include: answering questions about God and the Bible, discussing life issues from a biblical perspective, prayer requests, free biblical counseling and much more. Most importantly we want to share the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This ministry will operate in our local community but on a larger scale in an online format. Thank you.

Answer
Hi Tom,

Thank you for this very interesting question.  I may suggest one or two, but I think that this is something very personal.  You should get before God and find out what He lays on your heart.  One way to "prime the pump" or your thinking is to read scriptures about what you are doing.  Do you have a theme verse?  A phrase from scripture or even research out key words and their root meaning to come up with something.  Some ministries have actually used Greek words or phrases for their ministry name.

One suggestion I have is "Reason for Hope Ministries"  tag line - Just ask me  Verse 1 Peter 3:15


I hope that gives you a place to start.  

In Christ
Pastor Don
