Why is change so hard?  Avoid the “change myths”.  Biblical foundations for change.  Assess your congregations readiness for change using principles from the teachings of Jesus.  Identify key “change leadership” best practices you can use.

DISCOVER YOUR CONGREGATION’S “WHY?”

Before you wrestle with the “what?” and “how?” of leadership, unleash the power of your “why?”.    This workshop will help your team lay a foundation for a strategic ministry plan considering your life cycle, your mission field and the purpose God has for your ministry.

ORGANIC OUTREACH*

America is becoming more secular and unchurched.  Keep evangelism from becoming a “silo” event. Organic Outreach (https://www.organicoutreach.org/) is a proven approach to forming and maintaining an evangelistic culture at your church.   This training and coaching draws significantly from Kevin Harney.

SIMPLE REPRODUCIBLE DISCIPLESHIP SMALL GROUPS

To grow larger, inevitably you will need to grow smaller.   Sharpen your focus around the 3 dimensions of discipleship.  Discover practical and tested steps, rooted in the practices of Jesus, to start groups from scratch or revitalize groups that are stagnant.   Learn how best to empower group leaders to make disciples who make disciples.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

EVERY CHURCH CAN MULTIPLY

The multiplication of  disciples, leaders, groups, ministries and congregations exists on a continuum of risk and complexity.   Be equipped to diagnose your multiplication readiness (MQ) and to self-select the pathway that will best respond to your mission field and risk tolerance.  Your church can multiply.
