Vision
Our vision is to offer Bowen theory’s family systems approach to ministry to strengthen workers’ sustainability and fruitfulness.
Drawing on systems thinking, we increase our understanding of ourselves amidst our relational complexities while assisting others to do the same.
* while developed by people in interdenominational Christian ministry, workers from other faith communities are welcome
