Upcoming NE MN Synod  
Practice Discipleship Events! 
All individuals and congregation teams are invited!

Leadership Development for the sake of Faith Formation 

 

Practice Discipleship is following Jesus as a way of life through leadership development and faith formation. We are people who are rooted and growing in faith in Jesus Christ. As we deepen our faith we are called to develop as leaders who are equipped in theology, theory, and skills who are then sent to share the story of Christ so others can be rooted and growing in faith.  

The NE MN Synod is offering three types of trainings in 2014:

2014 Practice Discipleship Theme: "FRAME"
Frames are important. A picture frame gives perspective and focus to the picture within. The
frame of a house gives a foundation from which rooms can be built and decorated. Frames
give understanding. Frames help us expand our understanding. Frames give purpose.

In life and ministry, there is an overwhelming volume of information that competes for our
attention and time. We can't become experts in everything, so how do we choose?This year
Practice Discipleship will explore biblical, theological and practical frames that can give
intentionality to how we prioritize our ministries and respond to the gospel in our daily lives."
Session Titles:
Framing Life Biblically
Framing Youth 
Framing Failure with Forgiveness
Framing Christian Community
Framing the Path: Seeing Things New
Framing the Vision: Practicing Things New
