TESTIMONIALS
“I am genuinely beyond grateful for this course. Grounded in over two decades of hard-won, ‘sleeves rolled up’ experience, this course cuts straight to the chase. Starting with the clear and compelling biblical context, each module puts into laser-sharp focus those areas worth focusing upon for maximum impact. Whether your church needs a slight course correction or a major ‘unstucking job,’ the materials, tools and resources offered throughout the course will enable you and your team to generate an immediate and palpable impact on your ministry.”
G.J. Mollenkramer, American Protestant Church of The Hague
“Unlike other courses and conferences I have gone through there are step by step practices to help us implement what we are learning. This course has opened the door to much needed conversations within our organization. These are conversations and lessons we will cycle through and review and analyze annually. I would highly recommend this to any pastor that wants to see their church grow and move forward. It has been worth every penny.”
Aaron Escamilla, New Community Church, Mesquite, Texas
“This class gave our leadership uniform language to use so we can be clear as we wrestle with tough questions like discerning direction for our church. Everything was presented in way that gave us focus. It allowed us to work through a process of providing clarity and direction with the follow through of a plan. We are by no means perfect but this class gave us the starting place and the steps to build needed momentum in our church.”
Shawn Hogue, Galloway United Methodist Church, Franklin, Pennsylvania

- 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.

You will better understand how to support the lead pastor and live out your calling as a lay leader.

- 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.
