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.
