Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a lead pastor to take this course?

Tony designed this course to prepare leaders to grow healthy, thriving churches. You can benefit from the lessons even if you aren't the lead pastor. Here are some thoughts about what you might get out of it depending on where you are today:

  • Lead Pastor: This course will speak directly to your heart, your needs and your next steps. It will grow your ability to lead an unstuck church-regardless of where your church is today.
  • Executive Pastor: You'll gain practical wisdom from this course, but we'd recommend inviting your lead pastor to engage along with you. If the two of you are united and process these principles and next steps together, you will position yourself for even greater success.
  • Lay Leader: This content will help you understand what it takes for a pastor to lead an unstuck church. You will better understand how to support the lead pastor and live out your calling as a lay leader. We'd encourage you to involve the whole lay leadership team, as well as the lead pastor, and walk through this together for the best outcomes.
  • Called to Pastor: Are you on your way to becoming the lead pastor through a succession plan, or do you believe God is leading you to plant a church? This content will equip you to start off strong, as well as to anticipate the challenges that will come down the line. You may not be able to complete some of the exercises today, but you'll be able to draw on them when the time is right.
  • Denominational / Church Network Leader: This course will equip the pastors under your care. Email help@theunstuckgroup.com for information on large group rates.
I read Tony Morgan's book, The Unstuck Church. Is this the same content?

It is not! While some of the topics may seem familiar, the content and resources are original to this course. If you read the book and identified where your church is in its lifecycle today, you also saw Tony recommended some next steps for you to take. The content in this course dives much deeper into how to take those next steps.

I participated in one of Tony's coaching networks. Is this the same content?

The concepts will sound familiar, but this is all brand new content that Tony created specifically for the online course. You'll find this resource will reinforce the things you discussed in the coaching network but will go into a lot more detail in certain areas you didn't have time to cover in depth in the coaching network.

My church has recently been through a strategic planning process. Would this still be helpful?
Tony actually developed this content specifically to address an area where time limits how far you can go in a planning retreat: Helping churches really build out successful action initiatives for the most common "core issues" that were being identified.
 
You may find that some of the lessons address things you have already worked through in a strategic planning process (like clarifying your mission, vision and values, building a ministry health dashboard), but it will go much more in-depth in helping you take the next steps you identified. It will help you with the "how."
Can I share the course content with my team?

With an Unstuck Resource Hub subscription or a Consulting engagement, you get unlimited seats in this course for members of your team! But, you should also note that we designed this course with the intent that a lead pastor or executive pastor would lead the team through the content.

 

You'll find instructions and sample pieces designed to share with your leaders in each module.
