SERVANTS PREPARATION • COMING SOON

Formed to Serve.
Prepared to Lead With Humility.

Servants Preparation is a coming-soon pathway for older students and emerging servants who want to handle Scripture responsibly, lead discussions well, and serve the Church with humility, faithfulness, and healthy boundaries.

Older StudentsEmerging ServantsFormation Before Responsibility
SERVICE IS MORE THAN A ROLE

Before We Teach Others, Christ Must Form Us.

The goal is not simply to produce more teachers. It is to form servants whose character, theology, relationships, and habits reflect the Gospel.

Handle Scripture Faithfully

Learn how to prepare, interpret responsibly, and avoid turning personal opinions into Church teaching.

Lead Discussion

Ask good questions, listen carefully, draw students into participation, and keep a discussion focused.

Serve Pastorally

Practice patience, encouragement, appropriate correction, and respect for each student.

Know Your Boundaries

Understand safeguarding, communication expectations, accountability, and the responsibility of serving minors.

A PATHWAY, NOT A TITLE

Service Begins With Faithfulness.

Students who eventually serve should understand that ministry is not a platform for recognition. It is an offering of love, accountability, preparation, and obedience within the life of the Church.
