SUMMARY:Sister-Church Partnership Orientation
DESCRIPTION:Register for This orientation\n \nThe context for a global missional lifestyle is to be found not in independent single church efforts (short-term mission and otherwise) here and there in the world but in partnering in each other’s communities and networks globally for the long-term. \nDefined in this way\, sister-church partnerships\, with their intended focus on long-term relationships first and foremost\, present churches with a consistent way to apply missional living on a global scale. If you are a pastor or a church leader who is passionate about giving your church opportunities to live missionally in your own community\, think about how a relationship-based approach would look lived out in your community. \nThe first step in the process for a church/ministry partnership is taking part in a Sister-Church Partnership Orientation. This four-hour session focuses on cross-cultural understanding and education for pastors\, staff\, and church/ministry leaders. It will help you understand how to lead your church to participate in long-term\, cross-cultural\, relationship-based\, mutual partnerships to empower everyone involved. \nThis orientation is being hosted by Christ Community Baptist Church in Puyallup\, Washington\, on July 18\, 9:00–1:00. Check out the flyer for more information.\n  \nRegister for This orientation

SUMMARY:Fit Assessment: August 2026
DESCRIPTION:What is Fit Assessment? \nNAB’s Fit Assessment is a multi-step process that delivers insights to any current or potential missionary\, church planter\, or revitalization pastor\, reporting on their “fit” for the ministry they are endeavoring to engage. Read more about our proven methods and tools here. \nIf you’re interested in beginning the Fit Assessment process\, your first step is completing the online application\, either in English or in Spanish. \n  \nIs there an in-person component of Fit Assessment? \nTo complete the NAB Fit Assessment\, candidates meet together for a multi-day\, in-person experience hosted by a diversity of trained leaders. These three days together help us communally discern your best next step. \n  \nThere is an upcoming Fit Assessment taking place August 11–13 in Medina\, Ohio (outside Cleveland). \nContact Carissa Steinhart with any questions!
