2025 Officer Development Curriculum
This year, for our officer development discussions, we’ll be using Praying with Paul (2nd Ed.) by D.A. Carson. It focuses on how Paul’s prayers were preserved by the Spirit to shape our own prayer lives and ministry. Our goal is to grow in prayer and deepen our understanding of how it impacts the life of the church. Each month, we’ll work through a section of the book to help guide our conversations and spiritual development.
To stay on top of readings, we suggest bookmarking this page or adding the URL to a recurring notification in your calendar or to-do app.
