PLACE

What is PLACE?

PLACE at Northview is an intentional process to connect church members into purpose-driven ministry including self-discovery, individualized ministry coaching and tracking from workshop to ministry placement. Through the PLACE process, people discover or affirm or confirm that God has created and gifted them with a unique capacity to serve others.

Why PLACE Works?

PLACE is not just another church program. It is a process of self-discovery for the purpose of effective service available to all Christians. There are 4 steps to this process. 

What makes PLACE different and effective is our step-by-step implementation process and resources. Through the PLACE process, participants discover that God created them with unique Personality, Spiritual Gifts, Abilities, Passions and Experiences. Discovering God's purpose and plan for their lives helps members find their PLACE of service within the Body of Christ! PLACE is a biblically based and highly effective way of doing church!

Why is it Important?

Today more than any other time in history, people have more choices as to how to give their time. They find themselves asking, "Where do I fit in?" "Why am I here?" and "What can I do to make a lasting difference in my life and the lives of others?"

God created each of us for a purpose. "For we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10 (NIV). Part of His purpose for us is to edify the Church and to serve in its ministries. "...to prepare God's people for the works of service, so that the Body of Christ may be built up." Ephesians 4:12(NIV). The PLACE process can help you discover how God has uniquely designed you, and it will help you realize His purpose for your life. You find your life as you give it away...but first you have to know what you have to give!

Find your PLACE and make a difference!
