How do I know I'm ready to lead a ministry?

The fact that you are asking this question, means you're likely ready.

If you're still not sure, talk to your Flock Leader.►

The Spiritual Formation Initiative is designed to help ensure you are ready to be a leader. We are looking for people that are spiritually ready and mature. In addition, the following minimum standards must be met:

Person(s) submitting Proposal Form must have completed the Spiritual Formation Initiative.
Submit the Ministry Proposal Form.
Proposals will fall into two basic categories
- Simple: These are events or ministries that have a limited duration (1 to 3 occasions), do not need special funding, or do not demand significant church resources.
- Complex: These are ongoing ministries (no ending date) or missions that require substantial resources of time, money, or people from the congregation, or that requires contracts or obligations to groups outside the congregation.
Every proposal MUST include the names of at least two people who have already made a commitment to participate on the team providing this ministry or event.
Every proposal will be measured against our Mission, Vision, and Values.
- If a proposal is denied, the reasons for the denial will be fully explained. Staff is also willing to help you improve your proposal so that it can be approved.
