MAPS – Missional Application Programs are new to the CROSSROADS curriculum and are designed as a way for participants to keep in touch, learn new concepts and apply them to projects. Some MAPs will be one-time workshops building on class experiences. Others will be practical application of classroom learning. Some MAPs will have course pre-requisites in order to participate in the project design. MAPs are available for CROSSROADS participants and graduates as a way of continuing connection within the program.
If you would like to participate but have not attended the Spiritual Formation course, please contact Jill Peters.
