What is the Mission of the Church of I AM?
The Church of I AM is a marketplace ministry of the I AM Network. Through the church we build teams and circles that help in the spiritual development of God’s people. The mission of the Church of I AM and the I AM Network are one in the same: To provide an ark of love, peace, and prosperity, and to guide people to the rediscovery of their I AM Presence.
Becoming a Leader of a Life Circle
The Church of I AM establishing Life and Ascension Circles throughout the world. Those who lead these circles are by invitation only and are comprised of people who are completely on board with the Lead Pastor and the vision, mission, values, and guiding principles of the church, and willing to dedicate themselves to the successful leading of their team under the leadership of the Lead Pastor. We are requesting that every member commit to at least a one year commitment and be willing to sign a Life Circle Lead Covenant.
If you feel led to become a part of the Church of I AM Life Circle Leadership Team, and would like to speak with the lead pastor to discuss in more detail, please contact us to schedule a meeting.
Launching a Life Circle
There are five cycles to launching a Life Circle. The main function and task at hand is to get the circle off the ground. While this is an awesome opportunity; each team lead member understands the seriousness of such a God-given responsibility and therefore in no way takes their role on the team lightly. It is a very real commitment and truly a labor of love.
Gathering & Committing
The first aim of the Life Circle Lead is to start the process of assembling and gathering a team for the task of launching the new circle. This involves several individual meetings with the pastor, as well as informational meetings. Typically the launch of the circle is informal, and is a gathering of like minds and spirits at a home, a library, a cafe, a space in another church, or wherever deemed appropriate for that particular Life Circle.
Equipping & Implementing
Once the circle is assembled, the core group begins to meet together to become equipped for the work ahead. During this process the vision is clarified as to provide understanding of the vision of the new Life Circle, specific training on relational evangelism and prayer work. This helps the core group to start the Life Circle on a firm foundation. The core group also begins the relational work that will become the foundation of the new circle by initiating spiritual conversations with those we pray for and developing new groups and circles for the purposes of discipleship.
Matthew 13:33
“Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”
Inviting & Serving
When the core group get to this point, you can see the more “public” pieces of the Life Circle begin to take shape. The role of the core group is to become an invitation engine to expand the Life Circle.
Luke 14:23
“And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”
Welcoming & Enfolding
The core group welcomes new participants to the circle, and help them to become an intricate part of the Life Circle and benefit from the supportive team of support.
Disbanding/Expanding
With the establishment of a strong Life Circle, naturally it can grow very big. This is when the core group disbands and each member of the core group moves to launch additional Life Circles in other areas or days. The process duplicates in each circle as it did to establish the original Life Circle.
