Three intentional phases that move a called believer from discernment to deployment — rooted in the local church and empowered by Haskins School of Ministry.
Guide — Discern the Call
Every ministry leader begins with a call. We guide men and women to discern God's direction for their life and ministry through prayer, counsel, and the local church.
Personal Calling Discernment
Identify how God has uniquely gifted and called you through spiritual gift assessments and one-on-one pastoral conversations.
Local Church Affirmation
Leadership is recognized within the body. We guide you toward affirmation from your church family and pastors.
Foundational Discipleship
Ground your calling in the Word through the Discipleship Pathway — from friend to disciple to disciple maker.

Haskins School: Foundations of Ministry
Begin with introductory courses that establish a biblical worldview and the character required for ministry leadership.
"The things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others."
— 2 Timothy 2:2
The 9 Essentials
Essential qualities every faithful and effective ministry leader and church planter strives to embody — integrated directly into Haskins School of Ministry training.
Discipleship & Holiness First
Your chief identity isn't church planter or pastor but disciple of Christ and child of God. Character is a safeguard to be trained and reminded about holiness, humility, spiritual disciplines, and your walk with Christ.
Confident in God's Direction
Be confident in your calling to serve in ministry and church planting. Starting and leading a gospel work requires enduring conviction in God's call when facing difficult seasons.
Fervent & Dependent Seeking
Ministry is spiritual work that requires deep dependence on God through personal and corporate prayer. When we seek God in prayer, we meet God in power.
Live on Mission Everyday
Ministry is not starting services — it's doing the work of an evangelist, shepherding God's flock, and modeling a missional lifestyle where you live, work, and play.
Gospel-Centered & Grounded
Planters and leaders must be public theologians grounded in Scripture and sound doctrine — humble teachers and defenders of biblical truth.
Faithful Exposition of God's Word
Skilled in explaining and applying the Scriptures in light of the person and work of Christ. Standing firmly on God's Word regardless of cultural shifts.
Ecclesiology & Pastoral Shepherding
Understand essential matters of the church, leadership, and pastoral care. Jesus loves the church, and every ministry leader must take their cues from Him.
Global Vision for the Gospel
Pursue global partnerships and Kingdom reach. Seek first the Kingdom of God and don't lose the forest (the nations) for the trees (the local neighborhood).
Faithful & Wise Execution
Leaders are pastors, preachers, counselors, evangelists, and team builders. Build a toolbox of wise, practical leadership to lead teams, volunteers, and ministries.
