Where is Jesus asking you to be like Him, “as one who serves”?Luke 22:26-27
Thereis a growing movement within Northwest churches...
Discovering how to live and lead like Jesus.
WHAT IS IT?
Northwest Passage (NWP) is a process within local churches, which utilizes Vantage Point 3 (VP3) materials designed to develop individuals who live and lead like Jesus. Churches that engage with the process can expect to build up both present and future participants toward servant-leadership maturity.
THE MISSION …
To emerge, equip, and enrich servant-leaders, like Jesus, who will stay the course for a lifetime of service to God's Kingdom. THE VISION …
To facilitate a lifelong church-based process which identifies and develops men and women committed to understanding how they have been “created in Christ” and “called according to His purpose”, and desire to give servant-hearted leadership to the people of God to accomplish His mission.
THE PROCESS ...
The Emerging Journey (Year One) addresses significant questions related to spiritual and character formation. How has God shaped and formed you?How have you been “created in Christ”? Who acknowledges and encourages you? The approach involves daily study, weekly small-group discussion, two seminars, two overnight retreats, and a challenge course experience.
The Equipping Experience (Year Two) is an important follow-up to year one. What is God calling you to?Where is Jesus asking you to be like Him, “as one who serves”? Participants confirm their God-given strengths and develop a missional direction and strategy for others to follow; learning to serve through a team approach.
The Enriching Conversation (Year Three) prepares participants for the personal and spiritual challenges that must be overcome by servant-leaders who desire to finish well over a lifetime of effective ministry. This year focuses on the paradigm shift from being effective servant-leaders to becoming effective developers of servant-leaders.
