Our introductory course, Compass, takes participants through two different paths. First, it is a discernment process to help the participant identify their gifts, passion, and style. Through reading, journaling, and a valuable small group process, participants are encouraged to explore, articulate and hone their personal sense of call as a lay person in the church and in the community.
Second, Compass is the place to polish up writing, research, and presentation skills. If you haven’t been in a classroom in a very long time, this course will help you get back into the disciplines of learning. If at all possible, take this course early in your Crossroads experience.
