The Art of Minsitry Training, the course that MTS runs for pastors wanting to get into the movement, has a paper called 'Training Mindshifts'. I like this paper because it captures the spirit of the MTS movement, resonantes with many of the best bits about the emerging church movement:
- From running programs to building people
- From an event strategy to a training strategy
- From using people to growing people
- From filling gaps to training new workers
- From solving problems to helping people make progress
- From ordained ministry to team leadership
- From church polity to ministry partnership
- From relying on training institutions to establishing local training
- From immediate pressures to long-term expansion
- From management to ministry
- From church growth to gospel growth
