What We Do
Whether you are a Christian Higher Education Institution or a Christian Community, PathForward stands ready to assist you.
Christian Higher Education
Small colleges and theological schools often cannot afford full-time staff to guide the processes related to accreditation and assessment. Faculty feel ill-equipped to tackle these projects and are often unwilling to engage in this work. This situation places leadership at these institutions in a difficult position to respond to accreditation demands. PathForward coaches and guides higher education leadership in responding to or applying for regional or discipline-specific accreditation.
Christian Communities
Many Christian communities are struggling to reach new persons for Christ. The old models of attractional church are no longer working and fresh vision is needed. In partnership with the Inspire Movement, PathForward can help your church develop a vision for missional discipleship where those in your community are pursuing a lifestyle of everyday mission. By training and mentoring leaders and laity alike in missional discipleship practices, PathForward can help your people embrace a way of living that “abides deeply with God and lives missionally in the world.”
