A Spirit-Empowered Church: An Acts 2 Ministry Model

Description

A biblical, comprehensive, and strategic plan requires the empowerment of the Spirit to produce spiritual fruit and a flourishing church. The strategic plan is based on Acts 2 and focuses on developing Spirit-empowered disciples who will be involved in the five functions found there: connect, grow, serve, go, and worship. Assessment tools are used to identify areas where changes are needed, and the strategic plan is used to focus on God’s vision for each local church. In addition to using your Bible, we also recommend that you use A Spirit- Empowered Life: Discover the World- Changing Journey God Has Designed for You by Mike Clarensau to enhance your learning experience.
