The emerging, competent, releasing, and transforming standards build on each other, helping to visualise what our next development steps might be

Nurturing disciples of Jesus

Facilitating spiritual formation, enabling people to identify their giftedness and their place within the body of Christ
Emerging:

I recognise how being discipled has shaped my faith and I engage in discipling others.

Though discipling I encourage deepening of faith relationships, shared fellowship, growing together, and stepping out together in taking faith filled risks, mindful that discipleship is critical for fruitful mission.

Releasing:

I model discipleship that multiplies discipleship, creatively engaging a broad audience, supporting, challenging, investing in and inspiring deepening spiritual formation.

Transforming:

I prioritise discipleship, building the body of Christ, where transformation is evident.

Emerging:

I have strategies in place to manage my stress and understand the importance of personal wellbeing in relation to supporting others.
