Our Vision
Discovering how God created you can be exciting and enlightening. When we live according to God’s unique design for us, we begin experiencing joy, passion, and purpose in our lives. S.H.A.P.E. has a dynamic 3-fold vision which is helping Crossroads to become a diverse, interdependent community in which every part contributes in a significant way.
SHAPE Ministry
S.H.A.P.E. is based on the belief that God has given every person:
S-piritual gifts that are given for the purpose of serving others.
H-eart motivations that influence the choices we make and the feelings, passions, and
values we have.
A-bilities that empower our service and affirm our choice of ministry areas.
P-ersonalities that lend themselves to diverse opportunities.
E-xperiences, whether spiritual, educational, or those born out of joy or pain, that have
formed us.
S.H.A.P.E is designed to:
- help Crossroaders discover their unique design as individuals;
- find meaningful opportunities for individuals to contribute to Crossroads in a mutually beneficial and life-giving way;
- encourage the emergence of new service opportunities which can make a difference in our community and world.
A SHAPE team has been formed to offer seminars, individual follow-up, and assistance in helping people find meaningful ministry opportunities. The 1st step in the “SHAPE” process is to attend a “SHAPE” seminar in which people are introduced to SHAPE and various assessment tools. A follow-up interview will be scheduled later to assist people in understanding their SHAPE profile. This interview can lead to meaningful interaction with others (ministry team leaders, pastoral staff, mentors, etc) to discuss possible “good matches” for opportunities to serve both within and outside of Crossroads.
If you are interested in attending a SHAPE seminar, please contact the church office at:
070-3222485 or info@crossroadschurch.nl or sign up at the Information Table on a Sunday morning. Crossroads offers S.H.A.P.E. seminars 3 times a year.
