Facilitator Training  

Phase I: Focusing Leaders
Empowers leaders by helping them discover God’s unique shaping in their lives and in the lives of those they work with. A natural inclination for all leaders (clergy/laity) and churches is to drift toward maintenance, the path of least resistance.  Focused Leaders are continually moving away from maintenance and toward greater alignment with the missional heart of God.  As a safe-place supportive environment, Phase One not only develops focused leaders but also enhances their capacity for developing others.

Phase II: Focusing Your Ministry
Develops strategic leaders who are empowered to help their churches listen afresh to God and align themselves with God’s purposes. Phase Two develops strategic leaders who have the capacity to lead change in their church. In addition, Phase Two will help leaders implement the personal discoveries made during Phase One while also empowering them to bring focus, clarity, and courage to their congregation.
