What is FEATS anyway?
FEATS stands for Friends Equipping and Training System. It is a non-degreed program for leadership development offered by the Friends Center of Evangelical Friends Church Southwest. It is designed to work within the context of a local church, a group of churches or regionally. The goal of FEATS is to equip a wide variety of leaders for ministry to fuel a world-wide church multiplication movement, expanding the Kingdom of God in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We believe God has called us to plant 40 new churches in the next five years. To do that, we must increase our resources for leadership development. A wide variety of leaders will be needed to serve in all aspects of ministry. If participants are faithful to the FEATS process, they will come out of it prepared to minister and lead in whatever capacity best aligns with their gifts. FEATS will help people:
- integrate 15 EFC leadership values into their lives and
ministries encompassing character development, ministry skills
and lifelong learning
- understand their call
- discover where and how they fit into our church multiplication
movement
