● To think biblically regarding life and its decisions.

● To aspire to leadership in the church.

● To receive training in skills of communicating the Christian faith.

Measuring Our Effectiveness

● By verbal and written feedback from individuals who attend regularly.

● By financial participation in the support of the ministry by those who attend regularly (1CORINTHIANS 9:7-14).

● By leadership positions filled in local churches.

● By an increasing number of new Crossalk groups.
