Here's Our Process

Commit To Lead

We help you determine the readiness of the minister to lead his church to a preferred future.

Lead Self

This process creates accountability between the minister and a catalyst to establish or enhance spiritual disciplines and increase self-awareness.

Lead Others

We encourage ministers to recognize and embrace those around him to create a powerful ministry team.

Lead Organization

This process challenges ministers to evaluate how the church is currently organized and to prepare for future opportunities.

Lead Church

We emphasize the importance of a clear mission, vision, and values while leading the church toward the preferred future.

Lead Kingdom Impact

This is a path to impact lostness beyond the church by serving needs, sharing hope, sending workers and starting new work.

Lead Ministry Leaders

We equip ministers to coach other ministers.
