Description

CLI – Christian Leadership Institute: Module 7.0 Missional Foundations

The competencies in this module focus learning the skills to view both the culture in which we are embedded but also the skills required to share the Gospel within other cultures. Culture can mean varied ethnic groups but also includes subgroups within similar ethnic cultures as well as between generational cultures. From a general understanding of culture, specific way of bridging cultures will be discussed with the goal that the candidate becomes a missional leader with a focus on multiplication within each of their ministries.

Competency 7.30 Multiplication: Description and Rationale

This competency focuses on the missional mindset of the candidate and their capacity for initiating and multiplying ministries. This will include some missional conceptual knowledge but will focus more on the practical skills necessary to begin a church. While the assessment is for church planters, these principles and skills are also necessary for the beginning of any ministry. The goal is to instill in the candidate a missional approach to one’s ministry that focuses on multiplication.
