Are you looking for ways to grow as a leader at Veritas but don't know where to start? Leadership Onramp is an opportunity for you to come and share a meal with us and our leaders in order to learn more about leadership at Veritas and get plugged into one of our leadership development processes. I'm sure that you have more questions about this event, so let's dig into them!
What motivated you to plan a leadership onramp?
By the grace of God, our church is growing in a healthy way, but it will not continue growing in health unless there are structures to support that new growth. Have you ever seen an overgrown plant before? Vines need a trellis, tomato plants need support, and churches need easy ways to onboard potential leaders and provide clarity on what development opportunities would look like for them.Who is invited to attend?
Literally everyone. Because Jesus has commissioned all followers of Jesus (men, women, young, and old alike) to make disciples, we are all called to first lead ourselves and bear a responsibility to help lead others to Jesus. Leadership expresses itself practically in the church in the form of elders serving the church by leading, deacons leading the church by serving, and all kinds of ministry leaders leading their teams and groups.What will we learn if we attend the leadership onramp?
We will focus on discussing four main things:
1 - Why leadership development is important to us as a church
2 - The distinctives of leadership development at Veritas
3 - The practicals of how we do leadership development as a church
4 - How you can take the next step toward a development process that you are interested inAm I committed to leadership if I attend?
No, this is not a bait and switch where we surprise you with a list of things you’re now responsible for once you attend. This is an opportunity for us to put our cards on the table and lay out the many opportunities for being developed and invited into leadership at Veritas.What are you most excited about sharing with us?
That you are made for this. God has designed you, equipped you, and given you a story that gives you unique utility and gifting to serve his church. We are committed to equipping you even if you aren’t going to be here for long. We know that every investment we make in you as a leader we see as a missional investment, either in the future of Veritas or your leadership elsewhere. For most of us, there will never be a “more convenient time” to be developed as a leader.
Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to be developed to love God, love people, and advance the gospel together!
For the fame of Jesus,
Jacob Warren | Lead Pastor
