FAITH JOURNEY INVENTORY - Fall 2016

1. Introduction

This Faith Journey Inventory has a three-fold purpose:

to guide prayerful self-reflection on your personal journey and mission following Jesus;
to foster conversation with friends, life groups, and other gatherings about our personal faith journeys;
to provide church leadership with insight into the faith journeys of our church community based on the anonymous responses provided.

We encourage you to take these simple steps:

Set aside time with God to reflect on your life in Christ.
Complete the online inventory. To keep a copy of your responses, a hard copy of the inventory can be downloaded HERE.
Make time to discuss your responses with others in the CCC community: e.g. Life Group, close friends, Ministry Teams, or one of the one-time groups we are forming for this purpose. A small group discussion guide will be provided to help facilitate these conversations.

The inventory is guided by our mission statement:
Centennial Covenant Church exists
to glorify God by following Jesus on a shared journey
of transformation in his mission to our broken world.

After seeking background information, the inventory has four sections, each exploring one phrase in our mission statement, linked to four simple, one-word descriptions of our life in Christ:

UP - dwelling in God’s presence as his children
to glorify God by following Jesus
WITH - connecting with companions as his family
on a shared journey
IN - cultivating new life as his image-bearers
of transformation
OUT - activating love as his sent-ones
in his mission to our broken world

All inventory responses are anonymous.

Here's a prayer you can offer to God as you begin (Psalm 139:23-24 NIV):
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
