Church & Ministry Leader, we created this page for you!
Kingdom leadership is a tremendous call and can be a joy instead of a burden when we:Â
âď¸ Walk intimacy with the Holy Spirit, andÂ
âď¸ Follow God's desire, God's design, and God's direction for the unique call He has on each of us AND the call He has on the organizations we lead.
You can do it; we can help!
We teach the following process to provide you with the tools & training you can readily implement and relay to others as you involve your team.
1. Learn & Discern
Determine God's unique direction for your ministry. No two people are exactly alike, and no two churches & ministries are the same.
2. Implement &Â Communicate
Use written processes to get everyone on the "same page" and keep everyone moving forward together.
3. Come Alive & Thrive
Experience holistic growth and health as you stay aligned with God's desire, God's design, and God's direction for your ministry.
Common Questions
âď¸ Whatâs the best way to begin?
âď¸ Are you suggesting Iâm not already doing the right things?
âď¸ What if Iâm doing the âright thingsâ but not growing?
âď¸ How can you help?
âď¸ I still have questionsâŚ
More about the process
Step 1 | Define what a healthy ministry looks like & discern God's direction for you
Every church and ministry is unique AND there are ALSO some common threads among them all. Rather than starting with methodology and style, we want to begin with substanceâ by looking at Scripture and discovering WHAT God instructs us to do instead of first beginning with HOW others do it.
The âHealthy Churchâ resources walk you through the 6 functions of a church, helps you discern how God is leading you to implement those functions, and then equips you with a framework of âholistic growth.â
Youâll emerge with an action plan thatâs ready to implement a culture of life and health.
Step 2 | Use proven processes to run your ministry AND communicate clearly
After discerning where God wants to take your ministry, you must clearly communicate the vision online AND offline.
The âGear Upâ resources outline 5 unique facets every church must address in order to move forward.
đ§ the importance of your discipleship PATH
đ why you need to create job descriptions for all of the PEOPLEâ paid and unpaidâ you work with
âď¸ the role PROCESSES play in your organization
đ the necessity of crafting your culture, that is, the tone of your PLACE, by design instead of default
đ°why you need to handle the money, the PURSE, so you can focus on the mission (and practical steps you can take to do it)
Each of these 5 facets matter equally, as any can hinder (or help) your ministry move forward.
Step 3 | Build a thriving ministry by building people helping them âcome aliveâ
âď¸ In Healthy Church we teach that discipleship is one of the six functions of a thriving ministry. (Incidentally, the first type of âgrowthâ to pursue is spiritual growth.)
âď¸ In Gear Up, we suggest that your discipleship PATH is one of the processes that either hinders or accelerates the progress of your mission.
SoâŚ
âď¸ You need a clear resource that becomes your âgo toâ as a first step in your discipleship framework.
LifeLift is among many of great programs available. This resource helps people discover their identity in Christ, discern their spiritual gifts, and then deploy into ministry based on how God has uniquely designed them.
Note: This step can be implemented WHILE you implement step 2.
