The measure of success for an SLI Pastors and Ministry Leaders Group is two-fold. 

 

It is the stated aim of SLI to enhance the skills and ability of leaders to lead their organizations, and to do so while connecting the participants with one another.  We will know we are successful when a group of pastors and Christian leaders representing a diversity of denominations, ministries and worship traditions are meeting regularly for prayer, are walking together in transparency, love and integrity, are committed to continue to build ever deepening relationships, and are strategizing together for city impact. 

 

The second measure of success will be when the congregations and organizations which are led by these trained leaders are beginning to meet the needs of their city through meaningful and relevant collaborative ministries.

 

When, because of the positive contribution made and community service rendered, city leaders and civic activists recognize the energized and unified Church as a vital force for good in the community, we will have achieved an ultimate level of success for that specific group.
