We are servant-leaders

Not serving in isolation from one another, but rather as a network of pastoral leaders serving together.

  • Encourage one another
  • Learn from one another
  • Do anything out of rivalry or conceit

Developing a pastoral vision

for the Household

  • Have some goals in mind for the whole household and discuss them with your Unit Servant. What do they need?
  • Have some goals for the individual men in your household. What does each one need? Do not be ruled by what each man wants.
  • In both, pray and seek God's will.

Your time and service

for the Household

  • Do you have enough time for yourself, family, job and service?
  • What are the extra demands of your household that pulls you down?
  • How are you experiencing your service? Are you growing in confidence? Do you need more help?

As we take care of other people, let us allow our unit servants to take care of you.

We are accountable to one another. We bear each other’s burdens and challenges in leading people to Christ through the households.
