1. WE GO DEEP AND WIDE

For Small Church Pastors

Many of you serve in smaller churches where you will be required to be a generalist.

So, you must be broadly skilled. There are about 70 skills that you will need to be proficient in order to create a strong church.

Using our time-tested processes, tools, and systems over 25 years, hundreds of pastors across 15 denominations in six countries have developed their skills.

For Large Church Pastors

For those of you who serve in large church, you will be required to be a specialist.

You also will need to skilled in a wide-range of areas because your ministry will have the feel of a smaller church.  For example, if your youth group has 150 kids, you are overseeing a small church of kids. Many of the skills small church pastors develop will be the skills you will need to develop to create a strong ministry.

The executive team of a large church will need to develop a new set of skills so they can lead and manage the various ministries of the church.

We go deep and wide for both.

Here is a summary of the skills of a strong and healthy pastor.  Five Seasons of Church Health Summary.

Our Approach is More than Coaching

Traditional coaching is facilitative. It largely emphasizes rhetorical questions of self-exploration and discovery. Its’ aim is for you to arrive at your own answer. This is good and necessary, but we have found this model as incomplete for most pastors.

Here’s why: many pastors need skill refinement and development. They also need someone to show them the way. Reading a book or going to a conference is not enough because they are information-based. Skill development is performances-based. They need someone working shoulder-to-shoulder with them to help them develop those skills.

They also need simple processes and systems in place so their church can minister to more people in better ways.

This direct approach complements the traditional coaching model.

How Our Approach Benefited a Planter Experiencing Rapid Growth

Pastor Jason Cornwell’s church is young and growing fast. It’s among the fastest growing PCA churches in America. Numerical growth is a blessing if leadership can keep up with it.

Jason needed to start discipling people at scale. He needed a process to help others grow closer and more sensitive to God without him being personally involved with everyone. After three months of training, he nailed down his process and built his discipleship pathway for the next three years.

Here is his story.
