Identity: Who are YOU? What defines YOU as a person? How does your position in Christ form your true identity? What does it mean to live out our lives in Christ in relationship to others?
Coaching: What are YOU called to do? How would you describe your vision? What is the Biblical vision of every pastor? How can YOU implement that vision?
Discipleship: How do we fulfill the great commission and make disciples, organically? What is a primary and very effective way of doing organic discipleship with the entire congregation?
