Types of Underground Ministries

As a whole, underground ministry can take a variety of different shapes. This is not specifically very different from the other sections in this Handbook, as it does not deal with a specific part of ministry

Though at times these articles will touch on specific issues, for the most part they are written to give a broad understanding of the shape that underground ministries can take. However, it is important to note that these shapes are not the only shapes that are possible.

Innovation and creativity are powerful tools in the underground as a whole and in underground ministry in particular. Always use them.
