Be a Leader...
Process for potential ABS & Home Group Leaders (A) and Short-term Discipleship Leaders (B)

Thanks for your interest in being a leader at Westwood. We like to consider ourselves a high-expectation church, so therefore we don't take leadership lightly. It is an awesome responsibility to shepherd God's people. You should know in advance that our expectations for leaders are high and includes commitments to spiritual maturity and lifestyle choices that are above those expected of member.

The leader enlistment process includes an information form and meeting, which gives us a chance to make sure we're all on the same page. It is also a great opportunity to establish relationships between ministry directors and leaders.

We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
Colossians 1:28-29
