Main Objective
The object of this module is to help ministry leaders/emerging ministry leaders learn how to set in place the foundation stones of a life with God so that they will have a strong spiritual foundation and be able to reproduce others who do the same.

Module Overview
This module is an inward growth module geared towards helping Christian leaders ensure that their spiritual foundation stones are based upon Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone, and that they are set firmly in place. It is crucial for someone called to be a leader in the Body of Christ to have a deep understanding of the “foundational basics” of the Christian faith. In this module, we will walk through seven important areas considered spiritual foundation stones for effective Christian living and leadership:

1. Knowing God
2. Walking With God
3. Modeling a Godly Life
4. Serving in the Kingdom
5. Ruling in the Kingdom
6. Reproducing the Kingdom
7. Expanding the Kingdom
