  THE PLACE PROCESS
 
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).
