GATHERING
1 .House and Life
The church will pivot around these two areas of our home and life. It may vary, depending on our involvement, but our home and life will be impacted. (ie: How clean my toilets are is relative to how many meetings are going on at the house.)
2.Primary groups … watch out.
These can be the death of a church plant. Be careful. They are the exact opposite of what it is we are trying to do.
GOOD THINGS TO FIGURE OUT
1. Our Learning Style. Let's get freed up from what we think we should be.
2. Are you scared that can be a good thing. Being open/honest/transparent. How do we do that and be a leader in the church.
3. Your husband/Your Pastor
Exodus 33:12-19
4. What's you passion? What's your role going to be?
5. Can you say I've been called to be a part of this church plant?
6. What do you and your husband do for fun?
