PLACE is a Bible-based self-discovery process that helps pastors,
church members, lay leaders, and others realize their ideal PLACE
of ministry in life and in the local church. PLACE was created out
of a desire to help pastors design and maximize ministries within
the church and to equip Christians to serve in ministries that bring
fulfillment in their Christian walk and help them carry out God's
plan for their life.
The PLACE acronym forms a five step process that guides participants
in developing an individualized PLACE profile:
- The "P" in PLACE is for Personality Discovery. Participants
use our unique assessment to discover their Personality
based on the DISC model of human behavior. Individuals from the
Bible are looked
at in terms of their personalities and how God
interacted with them and used them to accomplish His purpose in
their lives.
- The "L" is for Learning Spiritual Gifts. PLACE promotes
a scripture based 16 gift model using our comprehensive 112 question
assessment. Additional Biblical teaching is offered on what Spiritual
Gifts "are" and "are not" as well as insight
as to how different spiritual gifts may manifest themselves in
individuals
based on their personality types.
- The "A" stands for Abilities Awareness. Here participants
complete a unique assessment to discover the most
effective environment for them to optimally serve in. An interesting
analysis of the account
of Moses and the exodus brings to life the various
environments people thrive in.
- The "C" is for Connecting Passion with Ministry. PLACE's
unique curriculum helps individuals identify their
passions areas and discover how they best demonstrate their passion.
- The "E" in PLACE deals with Experiences in Life. Especially
unique to everyone, this session allows individuals
to explore the impact of their past experiences. By doing so, individuals
not only
begin seeing their purpose for life but God's purpose
for them as well in serving Him and others.
Upon completion of the five sessions, either through
a personal journey with our Reality Check Resources
or lead by a facilitator or teaching videos through our Student's
PLACE or Church Resources,
individuals have a snapshot of their life on their
completed PLACE Profile. They begin to see the scarlet thread
that runs between the
five elements assuring them that God has uniquely
designed them and that he doesn't waste one single thing in our
lives! He truly does
cause all things to work together for good (Romans
8:28).
