What role do WIT, FCM and EQUIP play in the Disciple Making process at Calvary?
In the graphic above we show two dimensions of the disciple makers life: worship and obedience. The dimension of worship includes the personal and the congregational relationship. We call those abiding and gathering. The abiding is our private time of prayer and worship. The gathering is the celebration of God's attributes and deeds with the congregation. For us this usually happens every Sunday morning.
The dimension of obedience includes the community and the sharpening relationships. Community is our extended family on mission. For many this is their ABF. For others it might be a home group. The sharpening aspect may happen in a huddle, a small group of support and accountability.
However, sharpening also happens in the way of training, personal and spiritual development. That is where WIT, FCM and EQUIP come in. WIT (Women in Touch) is the program for women in our church that helps to train servant leaders providing personal and spiritual development for the mission. FCM (Fellowship of Calvary Men) is the program for men that provides inspiration, encouragement and training. EQUIP is the Wednesday night program that offers opportunities for spiritual growth and development as well as leadership training.
While the Gathering (congregational worship) and the Community (ABF or home group) aspects are weekly on going year round, WIT, FCM and EQUIP are either short-term courses or periodic events that help to strengthen the servant-leader base at Calvary.
As we start a new semester today, I hope you will take advantage of these opportunities.
