We are so excited that you chose to be part of this eight-week small group. We encourage you to commit to all eight sessions as each session builds upon the previous ones. You’ll be glad you did.

We are convinced your participation in LeaderStep will help you develop Kingdom leadership in your family, workplace, community, small groups—in whatever roles and capacities God has called you to serve as a member of Manna Church.

Before we dive into Manna’s Philosophy of Leadership Development, let’s review Manna’s vision (the details of Manna’s vision are spelled out in NextStep).

A VISION TO CHANGE THE WORLD

We believe our Manna Church mission is to glorify God by equipping His people to change their world and by planting churches with a world-changing vision.

We Plan to Accomplish this by: 

• Helping God’s people discover their individual gifts and callings, creating an environment where these may be developed and deploying God’s people into their world to be salt and light. Our Small Groups are designed to help accomplish this goal.

• Helping God’s people build strong families and creating a community where individuals may find fulfillment and expression regardless of age or marital status.

• Planting churches with the same vision both domestically and abroad.

We Do Three Things:

• Love God - Inspiring Worship Experiences

• Love Each Other - Life-Giving Small Groups

• Love the World - World-Changing Outreach
