We are convinced that setting high standards and spending extended time together is essential for substantive change to become a lasting reality. We partner with others for at least a year, spending significant time with them to assure that principles and processes are properly conveyed.
- We work to build a team of spiritual leaders (becoming like Jesus) who are Loving, Learning, and Leading together in covenant.
- Together they create an environment where persons can be themselves and help others become disciples. This includes learning together from books, videos, and an SLI Coach.
- Together the team clarifies the Values, Mission, and Vision (Focus) of their ministry.
- Living in community, the team develops a Ministry Action Plan (MAP) answering:
- Who are we?
- Where are we now?
- What is God calling us to?
- How do we get there?
