Description

Train pastors, leaders and the congregation in key principles that move churches from institutional to missional in 5 areas of flourishing. Called 2 Love through the Acts 2 Journey - Session 1: Taking Fellowship to the Next Level Schedule: Friday, August 27, 2021- Pastor Training (Max 2 per church) Ideally these two people are the pastor and one other key staff member, leader or spouse. Saturday, August 28, 2021 - Pastor & Participant Training (Max 10 per church) At each session, pastors will want to strategically think through which team members should attend the training depending on the topic. For example, session 3 covers the topic of Worship. Pastors may want to ensure the worship pastor or other worship team members participate. Church Mentoring Journey Cost: Churches will pay $250 at each of the 5 sessions ($1,250 total) for their "church registration fee". Registration fee includes all training materials for the 2 individuals on Friday and up to 10 individuals on Saturday. Churches may send additional participants to the Pastor Training day or the Pastor & Participant Training day for an additional $15 per person. This $15 per person payment helps cover the training and materials cost for each additional attendee. What is this Church Mentoring Journey and why should I care? This initiative is a 12-18 month journey for churches to assess and grow in their current realities of health, connectedness, outreach, and missional engagement. All of us would probably answer "yes" to the question, "Do you want your church to be more: Relationally connected on a foundation of love and trust?Valued and respected by the local community? In other words, would the community even notice if your church closed down?Welcoming and safe for non-believers to take steps towards Jesus?Member-driven in serving others, living missionally, and extending the culture of the church to new members?These are hard questions to answer, but we believe they are critical to address if we want to see faith passed onto the next generation and establish churches that last! What is this Church Mentoring Journey built on? The content for this initiative takes the relational message, Called 2 Love, of the Great Commandment Network, and pairs it with the practical strategies and framework of the Acts 2 Journey. Churches will experience a relational message through 12 key Bible passages that will help reshape the methods and strategies used to engage in the mission of Christ. The 5 areas this journey focuses on is: Fellowship (Session 1)Discipleship (Session 2)Worship (Session 3)Ministry and Serving (Session 4)Evangelism (Session 5)This Church Mentoring Journey will help every church go to their next levels in those 5 areas. How is this Church Mentoring Journey executed? Over the course of 12-18 months, churches will gather together for 5 sessions to work through this journey's material. One of the unique aspects of this journey is the priority placed on pastors and leaders to "get out in front" of their leaders and congregation for implementing these fresh perspectives. Pastor Trainings happen before each session so that pastors are adequate and prepared to lead the discussions and experiences with their leadership team and church participants.
