Joys and Responsibilities
“What will I be expected to GIVE?”
- Education - Each resident is to be either a full-time student or involved full-time
in a cross-cultural ministry.
- Community – You will be a part of a Christ-centered, urban,
multi-cultural directed home that seeks to live out the Acts 2:42
principles. We are a community
where each resident is committed to the building up of the community
through weekly attendance at house meetings and ongoing investment
in fellowship, prayer and support for each other.
-
Leadership development - As a resident, your commitment is to attend an urban Free Methodist Church in the Seattle City area and then to link up with a mentor who serves in a ministry leadership role of that church. We also help each resident develop leadership skills and broaden their multi-cultural awareness through guest speakers that address Christian multi-ethnic leadership issues; participation in cross-cultural service projects and shared leadership of house responsibilities.
“What can I expect to GAIN?”
With each area of focus mentioned above comes responsibilities and commitments
that bear the fruit of great blessings. So that you can give your energies to these things, several
helps are provided for you such as:
- Free housing including kitchen and laundry facilities;
- Free phone
and internet service;
- A house van for transportation
needs;
- Counsel,
prayer and support of a godly, prayer-centered board;
- Pastoral
guidance from the
Resident Life Coordinator.
“I am excited about
in joining this community. There are some significant requirements and expectations,
but believe me, the blessings will greatly
add to your life and call.”
Pastor Arlene Weigand, Resident Life Coordinator
