Three Campus Continuum Area Team Meetings
The Campus Continuum is a helpful resource that Area Directors and Campus Staff Ministers can use to understand how a witnessing community grows, assess where a community is on its journey and identify next steps for future growth and direction.
Below you will find outlines for three different sessions that were designed for an Area team to use to learn about about the continuum and practice using it as a tool to discern campus strategy.
- Overview of the Campus Continuum - For introducing an Area Team to the Continuum for the first time.
- Building Ongoing Fluency in the Campus Continuum - For use as "maintenance" and sustaining understanding and usage of the Continuum.
- Praying for Future Growth and Direction - For use in engaging the spirituality of the Continuum.
