SLI - Loving, Learning, Leading

SLI’s work is built off of a core process that incorporates the covenant-based Loving, Learning, and Leading (L3) framework to create a transformative environment which allows the work of the Spirit to flourish. It also gives spiritual leaders the tools to help their ministry stay on track. Once new teamwork begins to function then the current context is assessed, the focus is clarified, and the team begins to build systems and strategies to facilitate the journey towards generative ministry. The SLI process takes ministries right where they are, clears away obstacles to the Spirit’s work, and helps called Spiritual Leaders faithfully journey together improving with each month and year that goes by.
