4D Formation

4D Formation - Cultivating Leaders

Our vision as the Baptist Churches of SA is “to be a growing movement of healthy churches and ministries that are together in God’s mission.”

A strategic step towards this vision is the encouraging and equipping of all kinds of leaders from across the life of our family of Churches. We describe this strategic step as “4D Formation.” This is because as we consider cultivating leaders for ministry we see four dimensions of formation:

People are given opportunity to discover their gifts and abilities;
As gifts and abilities are discovered, people are empowered to discern how God is calling them to contribute to His world;
Given their calling, leaders are developed as competent persons equipped for ministry;
leaders who are equipped for ministry continue to need deepening personally, professionally and spiritually.
