Kingdom Lanes
Gifts
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. -Romans 12:6-8
Lanes of Impact
A lane gives clarity, intentionality and focus for team members. All lanes are unique in their mission, yet all are focused on a single purpose. Each lane has its metrics to provide information on new projects, existing projects, connect opportunities, financial need, and Kingdom impact.
