Leadership DNA

INTRODUCTION

The Crossway Network is a growing family of relationally connected, like-minded, interdependent churches who operate with a common mission to plant and support healthy, reproducing churches and regional networks of churches throughout the world for the glory of God.

As we seek to faithfully undertake this incredible mission, there is great diversity among the growing number of local bodies within Crossway Network. We celebrate the variety of ways that each church goes about carrying out Christ’s gospel mission. However, there are elements of ministry philosophy shared by all of the churches that create a common ministry culture across the whole network (our “DNA”). These studies are designed to help Christians discover and embrace this common biblical conviction, ministry philosophy, and leadership culture firsthand as well as preserve and advance the heart of it as the Network grows by God’s grace.

We trust that as you diligently and prayerfully study, discuss, and learn from God’s word you will be encouraged and equipped to passionately and purposefully follow the Lord Jesus Christ in all of life. It is also our goal that the word of God through these studies will develop and multiply faithful servants and leaders throughout all Crossway Network churches for decades to come. We hope your investment in studying this material fuels your love for Jesus as well as your passion to give these truths away to as many as God enables.
