Qualifications

1. Relax.  Before reading more about qualifications, remember:
   • There is no such thing as a perfect leader
   • CFL will help you get started: we have great training (Life Team Leader Training) just for you
   • CFL will walk with and mentor you all along the way
2. If you can say "yes" to the questions below, God could have equipped you to explore being a Life Team Leader or Co-Leader.  Remember,  perfection is not necessary!
   • Are you wiling to be trained and regularly encouraged as a leader by CFL?
   • Do you have a pretty good relationship with Jesus?
   • Do you have some passion for the life arena?
   • Do you have a desire to lead or co-lead?
   • Do you have some leadership ability?  That is, do you have some ability to clarify a destination and organize people to get there?  (See "Responsibilities," below, for more clarity on this.)
   • Are you, or can you become, available?  That is, do you have (1) about 1-2 hours/week for this task, and (2) the emotional and spiritual "headroom" to give the task your energy and attention?
