Faith Leader is a twenty-eight session small group experience in spiritual leadership development. Spirituality--the depth of relationship with God, self, and others--is the core of Faith Leader, which grew out of the desire to help people within the local church grow as spiritual leaders. Through twenty-six weekly sessions and two retreats, Faith Leader participants will discover authentic ways to engage in leadership in their congregations and in their communities. This set of four Participant's Guides are the tools for each person in Faith Leader. Participant's Guide I: Spiritual Self-Discovery, including biblical models of leadership, spiritual gifts, and spiritual types. Participant's Guide II: Spiritual Practices, including an assessment of spiritual life, exploration of new ways to connect with God, and developing a guide for living that will enhance our spiritual lives. Participant's Guide III: Discernment, including personal and congregational aspects of identifying God's presence and intention in our lives. Participant's Guide IV: The Personal Plan for Ministry, including a review of what we've learned in the program, a detailed worksheet for developing a ministry plan, and the support of other participants in identifying and articulating the ministry plan.
