Elder Team Training Day
Keys to Leading A Healthy Elder Team with Joy & Refreshment
We know that a healthy, unified board is crucial for church vitality and pastoral well-being. The struggle is creating an elder experience that’s life-giving, productive, and spiritually enriching for everyone involved.
How would your church thrive if your leadership team was truly unified and connected? How would your ministry improve if your board meetings were a source of joy?
In this practical training, you will:
- Develop a deeper understanding of the biblical role of elders to foster unity
- Learn practical steps to structure productive meetings.
- Discover best and sustainable practices for maintaining healthy relationships.
Keys to Leading A Healthy Elder Team is a Training Day designed specifically for pastors who want a practical framework for cultivating a healthy, effective elder team.
90-Day Tithe Challenge Training Day
Inspiring God Honoring Generosity in Your Church
This 60+ minute Training Day, How to Lead a 90-Day Tithe Challenge, will provide you with a framework to set a foundation of generosity in your church that comes from a place of honoring God instead of giving out of a sense of duty and obligation.
Some of what you can expect in this training:
- Why every church should launch a Tithe Challenge
- How to make the challenge work for your church
- Sustaining growth and engagement
This webinar is not just about the 90 days; it’s about setting a foundation for ongoing stewardship and generosity from a place of authentic worship.
Recruit & Retain Volunteers Training Day
Creating A Culture of Commitment
This 60+ minute Training Day, Recruiting & Retaining Volunteers: Creating A Culture of Commitment, will provide you with a framework for recruiting and retaining outstanding volunteers. Church volunteers are essential to a thriving church, but it’s not as simple as standing on stage and asking people to volunteer.
Some of what you can expect in this training:
- Deep Dive into Volunteer Dynamics
- Actionable Strategies
- Sustainable Practices
Having a church full of volunteers isn’t about free labor, it is about encouraging and equipping your congregation to do the work of the kingdom.
Church Staff Success Training Day
Navigating Landmines and Leadership Essentials
This 60+ minute Training Day, Church Staff Success: Navigating Landmines and Leadership Essentials, will provide you with a framework for how to manage staff, but more than that, a collection of practical actions you can use for building a staff that is efficient and effective in executing your church’s mission.
Some of what you can expect in this training
- Instructions and insights for fun and effective staff meetings
- Approaches for holding staff accountable and having difficult conversations
- Insights for holding yourself, the leader, accountable for the overall health of the staff
- Managing change and transitions
- Coaching up staff members, especially if you were not the one who hired them
- And so much more.
Pastors don’t enter ministry because they want to manage a staff. However, it is inevitable that in their ministry there will be staff that needs to be managed — and more than that, a staff that is being led on mission.
Developing New Leaders Training Day
How to Build the Engine of Ministry
Let’s be honest – nobody has ever said, “You know what our problem is? We have too many leaders.”
The reality is we’re all desperate for leaders. For the ministry we want to do, the students we want to disciple, the kids we want to love. There’s just never enough leaders.
Without a clear plan to develop leaders, you’re stuck:
- Counting on leaders from other churches to show up at yours
- Watching your best people burn out
- Putting ministry dreams on hold because there’s no one to lead them
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
This Training Day shows you how to develop new leaders – and it’s easier than you think. You’ll walk away with practical, proven ways to identify and grow leaders who will become the engine for your church’s ministry.

Personal Retreat Training Day
Planning A Ministry-Focused Personal Retreat Day
As a pastor, you’re constantly pouring out to others, leaving little time for your own spiritual nourishment. The demands of ministry often push personal reflection and strategic planning to the back burner, leading to burnout and reactive leadership.
Without intentional time for spiritual renewal and strategic thinking, you risk:
- Spiritual depletion and diminished effectiveness in ministry
- Increased stress and potential burnout
- Losing sight of the big picture and getting stuck in day-to-day firefighting
- Neglecting your own spiritual growth, which is crucial for authentic leadership
Sustainable Leadership: The Power of Personal Retreat Dys is a Training Day designed specifically for pastors who want to lead from a place of spiritual abundance rather than depletion.
Sermon Series Training Day
How to Create A Life-Changing Sermon Series
What if there are fresh, easy-to-implement ideas that would immediately elevate the impact of your sermons?
Would you be interested in improving upon your current approach and continually elevating the significance of your sermon series over time?
Absolutely you would!
You don’t need an overhaul in how you draft your sermon series, but you also don’t want the extent of your preaching strategy to be picking titles and slapping on graphics. You are interested in impact beyond the optics of a sermon series.
What if you could be introduced to new perspectives and subtle changes you can implement in crafting your sermon series to make your next series more intentional and impactful.
Take what you’re already doing and elevate it to the next level with this Training Day, How to Craft a Life-Changing Sermon Series.
Next steps Training Day
Creating a Connection Pathway for Your Church
Every Sunday, new faces walk through your doors — each representing a life-changing opportunity. But without a clear path forward, most of these potential connections slip through the cracks.
How would your church grow if you had a proven system for engaging newcomers? What if you could confidently guide every visitor toward their perfect next step?
In this practical training, you will:
- Master the art of creating first impressions that lead to return visits
- Implement effective, personal follow-up systems that actually work
- Learn our proven two-environment approach for lasting connections
- Develop a concierge-style care system that guides people forward
