THE EARLY YEARS
Taking a fresh look at your call to start a new ministry
Our call today is an online spiritual experience of
returning to the early days of yesteryear exploring
how your vision, excitement, passion, doubts, and
fears over the months and years serve you now.
Insights. Challenges. Passion. Best practices that
kept us going. Remembering that the past is not our
potential, opening to what is calling us into ministry
in 2016.
THE EARLY YEARS
Taking a fresh look at your call to start a new ministry
Leaders of Unity’s expansion ministries know all too
well what stepping out in faith really feels like when
we first receive, then respond to the call to pioneer a
new church. Of all the phases of ministry, certainly
the early months and years are foundational.
