We equip leaders so they don't have to bear the burdens of ministry alone.
What impacts your soul impacts your ministry.
Every church has its challenges.
You faithfully and confidently preach the Gospel on a weekly basis. But in conversations and meetings with church members, it feels as if life is too messy.
You have discipleship groups because discipleship isn’t happening in your small groups. You and your team long for true care and community to take place but no one has time for one more gathering or group.
Your and your church are left asking these questions:
How does Jesus make a difference in a broken world?
How can church members actually care for one another and experience life-giving community?
How can believers, including ministry leaders, really experience the abundant life that Jesus offers and states in Scripture (John 10:10)?
We help churches know and experience how Jesus makes a difference in a broken world through abiding in his love.
Who We Serve
-
We serve men that serve as pastors who desire to build a culture of discipleship + care within their church. Often, pastors recognize the need for training for and with their staff. We help through cohorts, ministry coaching retreats, and more.
-
We serve women that are married to pastors because we recognize that in many ways they also carry the load of ministering to the women in the church. Ministry is often and tends to impact the health of a marriage as couples serve together. We help by offering 1x1 care sessions as well as marriage intensives and marriage retreats.
-
We serve church staff and ministry leaders specifically tasked with shepherding, care/counseling, discipleship, and community groups. We help by offering training in the forms of weekend retreats, conferences, cohorts, and more.
