Our goal when mentoring and training lay leaders is to help them discover how to best serve God and those around them in a sustainable fashion in accordance with their giftings and skills.
To clarify, we’re not coming in as a leader into your ministry and will not directly engage in the ministry you are seeking to improve. Rather, we work by supporting the lay leaders of those ministries and helping them to remedy inefficiencies in and around the ministry.
We believe that trying to be someone you are not or operating in an unrealistic environment is detrimental not only to your service but to yourself and your faith. There are, of course, times when it is necessary for a person to serve out of their comfort zone. But if this is the norm then that is cause to reimagine the situation.
Because the training and mentoring provided for each situation is significantly different, we can’t provide a single package or pricing for the service. However, examples of a sample package with pricing is below.
At this point a few points probably need clarification. We’re not leaders in your church. Our most direct work will be with you, the lay leader, and helping you make progress. We’re not people who are experts in your particular ministry (although by chance we might have some expertise in the area). We’re here to guide you in navigating your unique church situation so that you grow to a point of self sustainability. Our goal is to turn you into the expert.
John will personally do the mentoring work but not all skills training will be done by him. As mentioned many times, we’re not necessarily an expert in your ministry area. At different times we may guide you to a book, a teacher, a workshop etc. if that would better suit your needs. However, we’ll always be walking beside you on the journey.
