Purpose Planning and Scripture
Purpose Statement
Servant Learning Events are mutually empowering opportunities for serving and being served in the mind and manner of Christ.
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death — even death on a cross.
– Philippians 2:5-8 (NRSV)
