Life Development Process
We use the simple diagram of a baseball diamond to visually explain our education and assimilation process to our members. Each base represents a completed class and a deeper level of commitment. The completion of each level includes a covenant as a tangible expression of our commitment to God and our church.
From Seeker, to Member, to Ministerto heaven, but you are members of God's very own family... and you belong in God's household with every other believer. Ephesians 2:19 
Each circle represents a different level of commitment. The largest circle, labeled community, represents all of Champaign county. As we meet our purpose of turning people of Champaign county into fully dovoted followers of Christ, people grow in their maturity, faith, and commitment. As they grow through the life development process they move from circle to circle until every member is truly a minister, serving in a ministry for which God has uniquely gifted them. |
