Professional Growth Plan

 

Preamble

We believe that growth is essential to Christian life. Having been given life which lasts eternally through God's grace in Christ, and having been empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve and obey Him, Christians daily drown their old nature and seek to grow up to mature Christian personhood. Such personal spiritual growth is a model for the church worker's professional life as well. Striving to be workers who serve the Lord faithfully, competently, and joyfully, they study to meet the varying needs of those whom they serve. Through on-going personal study, workers in the church will learn those thruths and skills which nurture effective ministry, theological and intellectual growth and personal wellness and wholeness.
