Part II: Spiritual Growth & Personal Ministry
The following section is an opportunity to share about your spiritual growth and vision for personal ministry. While it can be tempting to view these questions as a spiritual test to be passed, they are instead intended to help you share how God is at work in your life. We know that "a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ" (Galatians 2:16) and that faith is "the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:9). Please feel the freedom to be honest in your self-assessment knowing this is not a spiritual test to be "passed".
How and when did you come to trust Jesus Christ as your Savior?*
What are some ways you've seen God growing you in faith and holiness?*
How do you see God using you in the lives of others?*

Part III: Personal Information

Please know that we take seriously the sensitive nature of this information and that it will only be viewed as necessary by members of the COC Leadership Team in order to faithfully steward those entrusted to our care. Know also that the answers you provide will not automatically disqualify you from serving as a leader this summer.
