Thrive Leadership Manual

A Leadership Manual for Thrive Ministries and produced by Jonathan Brink. Is your heart craving authentic community? Have you been looking for a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and what it means to follow in the footsteps of Jesus? Thrive just might be the answer. Thrive is an emerging process for planting churches and missional communities that engages God's mission in the Way of Jesus. Based on the Jesus Model, Thrive provides a three year structured process for gathering together as a tribe for the sake of restoration and discovering what it means to be human. It's a simple means for participating in what God is already doing. The Jesus Model invites us to begin with a tribe of twelve intentional participants gathered together to create a space where intentional grace is true. It creates a context for creating a wholistic structure for restoration, spiritual formation, and growth. The Leadership Manual provides the basic understanding for creating and leading a tribe. The first part of this manual will explore the Thrive process, how to create a tribe, the specific protocols and support elements, and frequently asked questions. It also includes the six elements, or conversations that support the development of mission, the process and the tribe. These elements include: cultivate a tribe, engage the mission, follow the way, seek the kingdom, explore the story, and go and make disciples.
