The GOD MOVEMENT training begins with the INTRODUCTION TO GOD MOVEMENTS module focuses on discovering the basic principles of God movements and how to catalyze a Disciple-Making Movement in your community. The participants will learn how to:

• Overcome the complex challenges of movement building in cities,
• Multiply disciples and disciple makers,
• Function as a city catalyst that builds and implements a city strategy,
• Make a deep, lasting and transformative impact.

Each participant in the training will personally work through 5 short assignments a week (about 15-20 minutes a day). Then each participant will meet via Zoom for 60 minutes to debrief and discuss the learning as a large group and in team breakouts. The total time commitment for a team member doing the training is about 3 hours a week during the 6-weeks.

 

Upon completion, participants will be presented with the option to gather a team and continue in the Pioneer Team Journey. This training consists of eight 6-week modules presented once a quarter. The trainings are presented through the same personal daily worksheets and videos, culminating in weekly online 60-minute debrief and discussion sessions as a group and team breakouts.

The Pioneer Team Journey modules include:

1. FOCUS – discovering my life calling and highest contribution,
2. ENVISION – capturing and implementing a compelling vision,
3. SURRENDER – becoming the leader that others want to imitate,
4. ALIGN – building healthy teams and sustainable rhythms,
5. ENGAGE – engaging the brokenness and lostness of the city,
6. DISCIPLE – multiplying disciples and disciple makers,
7. EMPOWER – walking and working in the power of the Holy Spirit,
