The CLEAR Path

 

 

The Church Leadership Education And Renewal Path (CLEAR Path), is an intentional plan for maturing in Christlike servant leadership. CLEAR Path consists of four workshops focused on strengthening the Deacon Ministry Team's servant leadership knowledge, skills, and biblical abilities.

Each workshop consists of six sessions.  Participants are currently restricted to Active Deacons and potential Deacon candidates. All books, video access and training materials are provided.

A key component of the CLEAR Path is the development of individual Ministry Action Plans (MAP).  The MAP guides the Deacon in his spiritual growth and ministry while focusing on his relationships with the Deacon Team and his church family.  Each Deacon is required to create personal leadership and discipleship goals in conjunction with the pastor. 

The purpose of the CLEAR Path is to cultivate a Pastor-Deacon led Family Discipleship Ministry anchored in biblical manhood and womanhood.  This is our biblical ministry to enable Monterey Baptist Church to remain biblically obedient, active, cohesive, and flourishing for the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for the Glory of God.
