PERSONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENTCoaching and training designed to take your personal leadership skill to the next level. We design a customized, tailored program to fit your needs. Not every leader is the same, and not every leader needs the exact same focus. There is no “cookie-cutter” approach to true leadership development.

DEVELOPMENT OF CHURCH-WIDE LEADERSHIP FORMATION PROGRAMSEvery strong church is characterized by strong leadership. Therefore, we find it imperative that churches be intentional in developing leaders; equipping and empowering them to be sent. Working with the senior leadership of your church, we help customize a plan for successful leadership development in your church.
-
STRATEGIC PLANNINGAll churches should be active in fulfilling the Great Commission. However, it is increasingly harder to do in this day and age without a strategic plan that will provide a road map for revival. Some plant, some water, and God gives the increase, but laborers must be spirit-led and purposeful in reaping the harvest (1 Corinthians 3:6; Luke 10:2; Matthew 13:24-30). We work with the senior leadership team to develop a strategic plan toward winning your city and making disciples of Christ.
-
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENTStrong churches are fortified by strong infrastructure. Our organizational development services analyze your church’s leadership and reporting structure, types of ministries, and other important aspects making recommendations so they align with the vision, mission, and culture of your church. Everything we do creates and establishes culture, and that culture must align with the vision and mission of the church, both local and global.
