Welcome to THE COLLABORATIVE!

This is a 2-year journey for Christ the King to experience the depth and breadth of God's love in worship, prayer, study of scripture, and sharing of faith as we discern the presence and will of God in our midst.

The Collaborative is a vitality and revitalization initiative of the Southern Ohio Synod.

We'll explore questions to uncover God's purpose :

• What is God doing in our lives and our congregation?
• Where is the Holy Spirit leading us?
• What are we being called to do?

We'll respond in faith by:

• Trusting that the Holy Spirit will lead us to discern/discover the path that we are to take
• Sharing the good new of Jesus
• Telling our faith stories​

Steps in the Process
1. Prayer
Let the Spirit lead

2. Build a Foundation of Faith
Need to understand what you believe before you can share it with others.   
  
3. Discover Needs
Engage our members and neighbors

 4. What Can We Do to Address Needs?
What resources do we already have and what do we want to develop?

5. DO IT!
All members engage in the process

Next Steps - What's Your Story?

So far, we have been building-up our collective prayer practices to listen to how God is calling us to serve in our community. Now, were going to focus on telling our stories and assessing our personal and congregational resources.

• How is God working in your life? What gifts has He given you to help our community of faith? Knowing your gifts can help you (and CtK) better serve God. If you did not complete the short Spiritual Gifts Assessment during May, you can complete it online here . Please let the office know your top 3 high scoring gifts.
  
• Summer Storytelling will revolve around the people in the Bible who share our Spiritual Gifts and how their stories are similar to our own. 
• A formal prayer partner ministry will be started in order to nurture relationships for sharing our faith stories and supporting each other in prayer. Look for more information coming soon.
• There will be a congregational “summer read” from an author who shares her against-all-odds story of becoming a person of faith. Look for more information coming soon.

Getting to know ourselves (our stories) will help us understand our strengths and weaknesses as a congregation and will help us focus on who we are being called to be in our community.
