CHURCH LEADERSHIP WORKING TOOL

Determine What Your Church Is Equipped and Authorized to Provide

The lessons teach your team the process. This tool helps your leadership team apply that process to your own church.

Review the possible services under each Care Pathway. Discuss what your church is prepared to offer, decide what will be provided, document how it will be delivered, and identify where outside resources or referral partners are needed.
