Seeking Our Call
Seeking Our Call was a parish-wide program in 2018-19 held to discern where God is calling St. John's at this point in our history. We worked with a congregational consultant, Liz Lindsley guided us by taking the material generated through the Faith Leader* curriculum and helping us come up with a specific vision and action plan.
(*Faith Leader is a program developed by a Disciples of Christ pastor to help individuals discern their gifts and call to ministry. In 2018-19, we used a modified version of the Faith Leader curriculum with the entire congregation (rather than just a small group) to help us discern our call as a congregation.)
