You want to make a difference in people’s lives, let us help you develop the skills you need to do this most effectively
Every purpose is established by counsel; By wise counsel wage war Proverbs 20:18NKJV
Are you a Pastor or Church leader struggling with time pressures, or people problems? Are you part of a small team, maybe a team of one, finding yourself wishing there were someone you could talk to, Someone who could relate to you, bring you another perspective, and help relieve those feelings of being alone? Maybe the church you are called to lead is just not becoming what you envisioned; what you believe God desires? Or maybe you are thinking that it’s time to make some significant changes? Maybe you’ve tried to become a “purpose driven church”* but you are now a couple of years into the process and it is just not working like you hoped?
You are not alone. Leaders in all walks of life face similar circumstances every day. We can help!
This next quote is sooo true… I wish I’d learned this years ago!! Don’t skip this!
You will never maximize your potential in any area without coaching. It is impossible. You may be good. You may even be better than everyone else. But without outside input you will never be as good as you could be. We all do better when somebody is watching and evaluating. - Andy Stanley in “The Next Generation Leader”
The Coaches, Staff, and Supporters of Pastoring On Purpose are committed to helping church leaders, especially Pastors, become better stewards of their amazing “Call”. We provide Pastors and Church Leaders like you with skillfull, caring, personal, Leadership, coaching. We are passionate about the Church becoming the most effective organization in the world and Pastors becoming the most effective leaders.
We are different from the others! Nothing wrong with what the others do…. But we are different. We will not try to tell you how to “do church”. We are not former Pastors or church “experts”. We are business leaders(blessed with much success) who love the Lord and feel called to invest the skills God has given us to help make the church more effective for His glory. We will help you develop biblically based leadership skills that you can use to implement whatever strategy God gives you. Whether you are looking to be “purpose driven”, or Bill Hybeled, or Brian McLarened, or you have developed your own methods for doing church, the process we will walk you through will help you do it better, faster.
Why Coaching relationships?
Because, we believe that there is only one power that can transform the human heart.
It is the power of the love of Jesus Christ that conquors sin and wipes out shame, and heals wounds, and reconciles enemies, and patches broken dreams, and ultimately changes the world one life at a time. - Bill Hybels
Just like you, we are energized and humbled by the knowledge that this radical message of transforming love has been entrusted to the Church and its Leaders.
God has called His Church to take this hope to every corner of the earth. He has called you to be a leader among His people and your desire is to faithfully do your part. But you know there is a lot more to being a leader than what you learned in school. You know that leading in the Church can sometimes be a difficult and lonely task. You are looking for ideas.
So you buy the books! You attend seminars. Searching for the pot of gold, the silver bullet, the promise on the jacket cover that will one time, just once, not let you down.
But after the initial excitement and a sincere attempt to use the principles these books hold, most leaders are overwhelmed by the pace of life and the momentum of old habits.
For most, little, if any of the advice they contain actually makes it into long term practice.
What we at Pastoring On Purpose have learned, is what the best athletes and the most successful people from all walks of life have learned. To be your best at anything, you need a coach.
You will never maximize your potential in any area without coaching. It is impossible. You may be good. You may even be better than everyone else. But without outside input you will never be as good as you could be. We all do better when somebody is watching and evaluating. - Andy Stanley in “The Next Generation Leader”
As leaders ourselves, we have struggled over the years with many of the same leadership issues you have. Problems that unnecessarily keep us from ministry work that we love. We know that with quality coaching, the skills leaders want to develop, will be learned and applied more consistently and effectively. When that happens, it creates more time, more profit, more real fruit.
