Missional Worker Training is a 12-month training journey to equip workers for God's Kingdom harvest. After a one-day seminar, each worker will serve in their chosen mission field and participate in continuing education, coaching, and mentoring for the duration of the year. Each Missional Worker will become active in recruitment and training after earning certification.The initial one-day training seminar will cover key areas of faith and the application of those areas to outreach and service. Missional Workers will study and discuss:
- Why Jesus? – Defending and clarifying faith in Jesus
- Who is God? – Understanding God and sharing your faith (based on the Apostles' Creed)
- What does it mean to be a Christian? – Dealing with temptation and issues of integrity as you serve; living a life of obedience to Christ (based on the Ten Commandments)
- How does God reach into your life? – Understanding and communicating the Word of God (Law and Gospel, listening, leading, caring, and reaching); Understanding your mission and the Means of Grace (Word and Sacraments)
- How can you be in touch with God? – Your prayer life and helping others to pray (based on the Lord's Prayer)
- How is God leading you to serve? – Developing your ministry plan and multiplying ministry servants
Each Missional Worker will be connected with a local pastor for mentoring, advice, and accountability.
