​Relator

RELATOR Strength & Ministry Ideas

​Individuals with the "Relator" theme from the CliftonStrengths assessment enjoy close relationships with others. They find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal. Relators are drawn to people they already know and are comfortable with deepening existing relationships rather than forming new ones. In a church ministry context, someone with the Relator strength might serve in the following ways:
  1. Small Group Leadership: Facilitating small groups or Bible studies, creating a safe and intimate environment where deep relationships can be formed and nurtured.
  2. Discipleship: Engaging in one-on-one mentoring or discipleship relationships, investing deeply in a few individuals at a time.
  3. Pastoral Care: Offering in-depth pastoral care and counseling, where building trust and understanding is essential.
  4. Youth Mentorship: Serving as a youth mentor, focusing on building strong, supportive relationships with young church members.
  5. Volunteer Teams: Leading a team of volunteers, focusing on team cohesion and relational depth, which can lead to a more fulfilling service experience.
  6. Member Integration: Helping new church members find their place within the community, forging connections and helping them to weave into the social fabric of the church.
  7. Marriage Counseling: Providing marriage counseling or leading marriage enrichment courses where building a strong relational foundation is key.
  8. Community Outreach: Engaging in community outreach with a focus on relationship-building, rather than one-off events.
  9. Hospital Visitation: Participating in ministries that involve visiting members in hospitals or homebound individuals, often building ongoing relationships.
  10. Prayer Groups: Organizing and leading prayer groups where members share deeply with one another and support each other on a spiritual level.
  11. Bereavement Support: Offering support to those who are grieving, often developing deep and lasting bonds through the process of healing.
  12. Church Events: Planning and executing church events with a focus on fostering relationships among attendees rather than simply managing logistics.
  13. Elderly Care: Engaging with the elderly in the church, whether through visitation, leading Bible studies, or just sharing in fellowship.
  14. Parenting Classes: Leading parenting classes or family-oriented ministries, helping to create strong family units within the church community.
  15. Conflict Resolution: Assisting in resolving conflicts within the church by understanding the relational dynamics at play.
  16. Team Development: Focusing on team development for various ministry areas, ensuring that team members build trust and work well together.
People with the Relator strength are excellent at fostering environments where deep, genuine relationships can be formed, which are often the backbone of a strong and supportive church community. Their natural ability to connect deeply with others and create a sense of closeness and family is invaluable in ministry settings.
