The Leadership Ladder Process
Advanced Pastoral Training
The early church figured this out long ago.
Why haven’t we?
YOUR CHURCH WILL ONLY GROW TO THE CAPACITY OF ITS LEADERSHIP
And it’s more than organizational leadership.
It’s establishing spiritual and missional leadership too.
We are told to look for leaders. Look for those who have the “gift” of leadership and get them plugged in. If we don’t have leaders, we pray for them to walk through the doors.
When that doesn’t happen, a sinking feeling wells up inside then you settle for “this is as good as it gets” as you plug in wonderful and loving people into predetermined ministry slots regardless of their training or giftedness. They do their best, but it’s just not quite enough.
This is why you feel trapped. We know. We’ve been there, done that.
There is a way out.
THE SHEPHERD
Every skill that you will develop flows through leading, caring for, or feeding your church. There are about 80 skills to develop or reinforce.
HOW DID THE EARLY CHURCH OVERCOME THE SAME HURDLE?
In Acts 6, the recently planted church faced its first leadership hurdle.
The widows were not getting fed.
The Apostles sprung into action to increase the church’s leadership capacity to care for the congregation WHILE continuing to preach in and pray for the community.
Imagine if the Apostles didn’t. The church would have limited its growth because the Apostles would be caring for the material needs of the church AND preaching, teaching, and praying.
Sound familiar?
You can develop your people into leaders too. It’s the way the church has grown for centuries.
You need to have a proven process and methodology that you can trust to develop that skill.
Do you?
ALIGN YOURSELF TO OUR PROVEN PROCESS
We have been providing advanced pastoral training for 25 years. Our proven processes are backed by DMin and PhD research along with corporate training, change and innovation management training.
Hundreds of pastors across 15 denominations in six countries have participated in our trainings. Pieces of it have been taught at eight bible colleges and seminaries.
We will come alongside you to establish a leadership development process that works.
One of the observations we have made in working with hundreds of churches over the years is that churches grow on the edges.
“The front edge is evangelism and gathering new people; the back edge is leadership development. When we evangelize and gather new people, we grow the church. When we raise up and multiply leaders, we grow the capacity of the church to minister to more people in better ways.”
When your church grows in capacity:
- Mobilizing people into ministry will replace recruiting volunteers. Yes, there is a difference. A big one.
- People will no longer feel weird or awkward about living missionally or making disciples.
- You will notice an uptick in biblical character and knowledge in your leaders.
- You will be able to discover, develop, and deploy new leaders.
- You will model how to develop leaders by apprenticing, mentoring, and coaching them. Yes, there is a difference.
- Ministries of the church will multiply.
Result?
The congregation will grow in its capacity to minister to more people in better ways.
We will spend time with you to get you there.
