Missional Church Consulting

What if believers once again became followers of the way of Jesus rather than just knowing about him?

What if believers learned to see and love the overlooked and ignored like Jesus did?

What if the gifts and energies of people were released to be used in the community rather than just inside the walls of the church?

What if churches became known more for their impact in their community than for their size?

All of this and more is possible as a ministry embraces the missional church paradigm!

What is a Missional Church?  A missional church is a congregation that is externally focused and is discipling and mobilizing people to be sent into the community as incarnational missionaries.  Deep in the heart of every church and every pastor is a desire to know that they are making an impact in the world.  Most of the current models that have been held up have frustrated more than helped most churches and pastors.   It is our belief that any church in any setting can become missional!  And by doing so the local church will regain their power to transform the world.

Here's how we can help you increase your IMPACT in the world and experience new HOPE!

How We Serve the Pastor and the Local Church

1. Introductory Seminar:  The seminar is a three hour event that addresses why the missional church paradigm is needed and what a missional church looks like.  The seminar plants the seeds for the missional church paradigm by creating awareness and stirring interest.  Date for upcoming seminar in Houston is October 2nd.  Click here and request more information about these intensive seminars!
   
2. Coaching:  personal sessions with pastors and/or congregation leader teams.  Coaching involves assisting individuals and/or teams to identify barriers and to improve effectiveness by surfacing knowledge that resides within them, and suggesting resources they are not yet aware of.  Click here and request more information about personal coaching.
   
3. Learning Community:  The learning community consists of practitioners/leaders who meet six times per year for a day long retreat.  The retreat includes: 
   
   • Leadership development in the three dimensions of leadership; personal, interpersonal, & missional.
   • Training in the missional church paradigm and the necessary skill set.
   • Roundtable discussion & dialogue with other practitioners
   • Spiritual formation – time will be given to address the spiritual dimension of the leader’s life.
   • A peer group.  Time will be given to engage with a small group of peers for encouragement, support and accountability.
