"So, you are new to the role, it’s not quite what you expected and you’re trying to figure out how to make sense of it." You need to balance leadership with managing, administration with pastoring, your Senior Pastor’s expectations with yours and everyone else’s … and have a job description that reflects that well. Facilitated by an XP with 20 years experience in three churches of 1,500 to 4,500; together we will hammer out ways to bring clarity and understanding to this job that often requires more finesse and balance than any other on the team.

Come and hear Dave at the 2010 Seminar and his workshop on The Peace Connector: Expanding Your Missions Reach Without Expanding Your Budget.
This workshop will explore the vision of PEACE and open the possibilities to mobilize your members to missions without expanding your missions budget. It is not your seating capacity but your sending capacity that determines the reach of your church. Ordinary people inspired by God’s love doing extraordinary things wherever they are. As your members are exposed to missions opportunities, they will undoubtedly want to get connected and learn more about how they can serve. As they are engaged and equipped, their commitment to missions and the church will deepen. Your missions-minded people are your most dedicated members as they see the church for what it is in the world … the Bride of Christ.
