What Are Your Core Values

Your core values are like guardrails on the highway of life. They not only help you stay on the right path but also help point to what is really important to you. You have also been given spiritual gifts which often give clear indications of what God has in mind for you. What do these things tell you about your reason for living? Both core values and spiritual gifts are clues or pointers that are an important part of discovering your purpose.

The assignment for this lesson is to read the following book.

Values-Driven Leadership: Discovering and Developing Your Core Values for Ministry by Aubrey Malphurs

After reading the book you will need to write a 6-8 page paper in Arial 12pt font double spaced.  The paper should include:

·         What are your personal core values for ministry

·         What is the main point of the book and how does it address your own values

·         What values do you feel are lacking in some ministries today

·         How will you insure that your ministry adheres to the core ministry values that you have
