Gospel Partnership
We long for every person committed to Seven Mile Road to become a Gospel Partner. Whether someone is new to Christianity or has walked with Jesus for years, the Partnership Process is designed to help them take next steps in their discipleship journey.
It is now required that all who assume leadership positions at 7MR first become Gospel Partners.
What is your role as a shepherd?
Your role is to identify, recommend, and encourage those in your HC to attend Partnership Training. The process is designed to be initiated by Shepherds, so that your invitation can be a source of encouragement to your people in their individual discipleship journeys.
The only requirement to begin the Gospel Partnership Process is a relationship with Jesus and a commitment to a HC (attending for at least 4-6 months consistently).
Below is an overview of the process:
How do you support current Gospel Partners?
As a Shepherd, your role for those that have completed this process is to:
Pray over, encourage, and challenge Gospel Partners in the pursuit of their Individual Discipleship Plans
Potentially delegate key roles within the life of the HC, such as leading a Huddle for several members
Encourage Gospel Partners to consider ways they can serve the corporate church body (Kids Ministry, Prayer Team, Worship Team, etc.) as ones committed to the vision and people of 7MR
