Too much to do. Not enough time. No time to fix it.
Church leadership challenges are out of control.
There's so much going on. Too much to do. Not enough time and too few willing to help.
Balancing ministry responsibilities is a struggle with: church administration, managing volunteers and handling pastoral duties on top of sermon prep and your weekly 'To Do' list!
Too many conflicting priorities, needs to be met and church administration to catch up on.
​
Ministry feeling ineffective, unfruitful and, well, painful.
​
No church growth. Recruiting church volunteers seems never-ending. No one's too keen on helping out, much less committed enough to be discipled. Everyone's life is too busy. Building a disciple-making culture seems like a pipe dream. Even regular church attendance is a constant concern.
​
You're stuck and unsure where to turn.
On top of everything else, you're feeling isolated with no pastoral or leadership support. You have few people to talk to, even then, they don't quite understand. You want change and transformation, but you're stuck. You don't know where to start or how to make the change happen. Your leadership challenge is enormous. You pray that people will grow as disciples.
​
Yet, you're feeling the urgency.
You feel a deep sense of urgency. You want nothing more than to get on with the mission, the main reason God has placed you at the church—to reshape ministries to develop a strong, healthy disciple-making culture and grow the church in maturity and number.
​
So what are you going to do next in your search
for church leadership development and support?
​
You've read the books, listened to the podcasts and attended the conferences. They have taught you much and imspired you to make change happen, but... change doesn't happen!

Where are you going to find a disciple-making transformation strategy that works for you?
More importantly, how are you going to implement it? How are you going to make it happen?

Making disciples.
Then Jesus came to them and said,
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
– Matthew 28:18-20
Why?
God’s goal for creation is to glorify his Son in the midst of the people he has rescued and transformed... to be his people.
​
What?
A forgiven sinner who is learning Christ in repentance and faith.
​
How?
It's God’s work, achieved as his word and Spirit work through the activity of Christian disciples and in the hearts of those they speak to.
​
Who?
Pastors by their preaching, equipping and example, cultivate every Christian to become a Christ-learner who disciples others to learn about Christ
​
Where?
Disciple-making takes place in every aspect of church community life—services, small groups, outreach, and everyday interactions. It happens in every corner of this present darkness.
​
​
So you want to build a disciple-making culture in your church...
Are you actually serious? Are you ready?
Are you willing to make the changes?
​
So what's stopping you?
What's getting in your way?
Will it really make any difference?
I've already got too much to do!
Finding yourself activity-driven—pastoral issues, organizing, keeping up with the church's 7-day cycle? 'Good is the enemy of best!' So, are you spending your time on what's best for the Kingdom? If not, doesn't something need to change?
First and foremost, you need to change! You must invest your time into the most important imperative—making disciples who make disciples!
Then go from there.
What's leadership got to do with it?
Transforming church culture is hard. Bottomline—it's a people thing. You're taking people somewhere they otherwise would not go!
So, you need to know where you're leading people, what's required to get them there, and most importantly, how to bring them along with you. You need vision and strategy to lead people through change.
I don't have enough good, reliable volunteers to help!
So what are you doing to change that? How are you going growing them as disciples?
Sustainable disciples-making goes hand-in-hand with growing a strong team of church volunteers keen to serve. As they grow, they want to love more, serve more, lead more, help more.
Even now, there are people in your church who want to grow in knowledge, in Christlikeness and in loving service.
Why do I need a leadership skills and a discipleship strategy?
Building disciple-making culture requires a game plan for change. One that's sensitive to the people side of change.
Starting new initiatives, and stopping some old, but much-loved programs means moving people who may not want to moved.
To move forward effectively requires church leadership skills. It makes the critical difference.
I didn't sign up for all this I'm doing!
You're overwhelmed by the expectations of church leadership. People issues all around, volunteer rosters to fill, church administration, service organizing, setting up, checking up, following up, fixing the sound system, balancing the budget, keeping people happy (don't mention the politics)—it doesn't need to be this way. It's time to discover practical changes to build a disciple-making culture.
