MPD Readiness Form

This form is meant to help us discern together if Ministry Partner Development (or “MPD”) is your best way forward. While we believe MPD is a biblical pattern, it is not something everyone is called to or the best path for every role in ministry. We encourage your full honesty here so that we can discern together!
