What is NorthStar?NorthStar is a two-year training
program developed by the 17:6 Network for use by participating churches
to train their rising leaders.

Program: A
scheduled sequence of component parts that allows the accomplishment of a goal. Training is a series of activities (including their environments)
performed by a “Trainee” who is under coaching that allows him/her to acquire
skill or changes in perspective and/or values.
Training differs from other kinds
of learning experiences in what it requires. - A Seminar
exposes people to information—it
requires attendance and listening.
- A Class
helps a person deal with concepts—it
requires attendance, listening and engaging
in discussion, question asking or problem solving.
- A
Workshop helps develop basic skill in implementing concepts practically—it
requires attendance, listening, and trying
to use the concepts practically to deal with case studies or to solve real
problems.
- Training
develops skill or significant change in perspective and/or
values. Besides attendance and listening
it requires that the participants…
- Follow directions,
- Perform the specified activities with a good
will, and
- Reflect on their performance with a Coach, who
gives input into making advances.
- A Training Program is a sequence of events over time in which a
participant engages to develop desired skills and/or perspective and value
changes.
Rising Leaders are people who already
serve in the church’s ministry and already have a pattern of financial giving to the church and who have shown interest in
learning more about ministering and leading in ministry. |
