Stepping Out

Guide your people through an experience that will deepen their faith and empower them to follow the way of Jesus in all of their living.

What if your congregation were to step out into the community not to recruit people or to offer charity but to learn to be with others without agenda and open to what the Spirit might already be doing ahead of them in the lives of people all around them?

Stepping Out provides you with a way to guide your people through an experience that will deepen their faith and empower them to follow the way of Jesus in all of their living.

This resource can work in a congregation like yours. You can help your congregation to become a more faithful, vital and integrated part of your community AND develop a deeper understanding and experience of what the church is called to be.

How it Works

Getting started is easy! Stepping Out is made up of 4 Modules that build upon each other. Each Module is grounded in the practice of Dwelling in the Word and includes simple rhythms and activities for forming a people on mission. Invite participants to try some simple, yet transformational actions in their everyday lives and share these together as you form disciples for Jesus.

The Stepping Out Modules

Work through each of the following modules in a way that fits with the rhythm and life of your congregation.

Module 1

Becoming a people of relationship rather than outcomes

Module 2

Listening without agenda

Module 3

Attending to the stories of people in the neighbourhood

Module 4
