New Leadership Coaching Networks: Time is Running Out!

Time is running out for you to get in on the Leadership Coaching Networks that are getting ready to begin at the Unstuck Group! We’re always excited about the start of new coaching networks, but this year, we’re more excited than ever!

NEW OPTION – Reaching 2,000 & Beyond (Atlanta, GA)

Develop strategies to tackle the unique challenges of larger churches, including leadership development, staffing, communications, discipleship and establishing healthy growth engines. (Reaching 2,000 & Beyond in Dallas filled up fast, so we’ve added a second location. There are already only four spots left.)

Reaching 1,000 (Irvine, CA)

Move from reaching hundreds to reaching 1,000 in attendance by clarifying what’s working and what’s wrong, defining an action plan for next steps, and establishing a staffing and ministry structure that supports growth and health.

Multisite Leadership (Colorado Springs, CO)

Learn from leaders who have served in some of the largest multisite churches in the country about developing a strategy and structure for growing the impact of one church in multiple locations.

Small Groups That Work (Nashville, TN)

Move from theory to practical next steps to help your church establish a thriving small groups ministry that provides a path for both healthy community and spiritual formation.

Next Level Staffing (Houston, TX)

Build your team through staffing strategies including hiring and firing, establishing a senior leadership team, structuring for growth, leadership development, managing performance and eliminating team dysfunction.

With each of these new coaching networks, you get a nine-month experience that includes three in-person gatherings and video conferences in the months when we don’t gather in person. Each will help you discover the shifts that need to happen in your leadership and your ministry strategies and systems. We hope you’ll join us!

Learn More & Apply Here!

In our coaching networks, you can expect a relational experience built around simple and practical systems and tools to help you take your next steps as a leader. We take a look at best practices in growing, healthy churches, and we press into tough conversations to help you get unstuck in your leadership and ministry impact.

If you’re considering joining us here are some things to keep in mind…

This is not an opportunity for someone who is looking for inspiration: These coaching networks involves work. You can’t just show up. You will have to commit to nine months of reading and engaging exercises with the ministry team at your church.

This experience isn’t for people looking for leadership theory: Yes, you’ll learn some leadership skills, but this experience is designed for you to put those skills into action. Every month you will leave with new tools to implement in your ministry environment.

This is not a conference experience: In a conference, you can sit and soak in the teaching without engaging anyone else. In this coaching experience, you will be encouraged and challenged by other leaders who will be counting on you to participate fully.

Join a Multisite Leadership Coaching Network

I’m excited to share some big news with you! At the Unstuck Group we’ve successfully been coaching Pastors and other Ministry Leaders at churches across America for years. And this fall we are offering 7 brand new coaching networks including the one I’ll be facilitating, Multisite Leadership.

In this Coaching Network you’ll learn from leaders who have served in some of the largest multisite churches in the country about developing a strategy and structure for growing the impact of one church in multiple locations.

> When & Where will We Meet?
Colorado Springs, CO
Gatherings: October 1-2, January 28-29 and April 14-15
Video Conferences (1:30-3pm EST): November 13, December 11, February 12, March 11, May 13  and June, 10

> Who Will Participate?
These networks are designed for leaders and strategists who serve in a local church. Typically, that has included lead pastors, executive pastors, campus pastors and other senior leaders. You’ll participate in an environment where you can experience coaching but also learn from your peers.

> What Will You Receive?
The group receives six days of in-person coaching sessions over nine months, plus six 90-minute video conference coaching sessions in the months when the group is not meeting in person. This includes training on a variety of ministry strategy topics including staffing, leadership development, communications, financial stewardship, volunteer team development, weekend services, ministry structure, discipleship, multisite and more. You’ll learn about tools, exercises and best practices to implement after every session. In addition, in the multisite network we’ll:

  • Discover how to identify and develop Campus Pastors
  • Gain exposure to different Multisite Models
  • Determine how to know if you’re ready to go multisite and how to you launch your first campus successfully
  • Learn how to restructure your staffing and systems successfully to support a multisite model
  • Move past 3 campuses (80% of multisite churches in America never get past 3 campuses)

One of the primary benefits will be the opportunity to network with and learn from like-minded leaders. We set aside dedicated time in every gathering to talk through the pressing issues you are facing. You’ll have access to your coach throughout the network gatherings. Additionally, you’ll receive several free resources and books, plus some other fun surprises.

> What are the Expectations & Costs?
You will be expected to attend all coaching sessions, cover your own travel expenses as needed, and commit to reading a book and completing exercises between sessions. Complete the coaching network application and pay your initial deposit to hold your space. The deposit will be your first month’s fees. The fee to participate in the network is $2,500.

The Unstuck Team provides leadership training for pastors and other ministry leaders through coaching networks. These networks are focused on helping you discover the shifts that need to happen in your leadership and your ministry strategies and systems. The only way to get different results is to engage different systems. This experience will challenge you to take those next steps.

This network is limited to just 12 spots, so follow this link to register and get all of the details you need to be a part of Coaching Network!

10 Articles that will Accelerate the Multisite Movement at your Church

Currently there are more than 8,000 multisite churches across America and more than 1,600 mega churches (churches of more than 2,000 people in weekly attendance). While both are growing, the multisite church movement has outpaced the mega church movement in America. What was once seen as only a Band-Aid strategy for space issues at mega churches has become a vehicle for growth in local churches of all kinds and all sizes (the average size a church goes multisite is around 850-1200). “Multi” doesn’t mean “Mega” anymore.

If your church is considering going multisite or stuck somewhere along the way these articles will help you move in the right direction!

Four Reasons Not to Join a Coaching Network

  1. You work in a perfect church with a leadership development strategy that pushes you in all the right ways.
  2. You have more than enough close friends in ministry who can relate to your challenges and successes, pray for you in specific ways and provide objective outside input when needed.
  3. You’ve already arrived as a leader and have nothing else to learn.
  4. You find busyness as a satisfactory excuse for not pursuing personal growth.

Ok, so I’m being sarcastic. My point is this: Just about all of us need a coach and support network of people who understand our situation. A great coach can help you discover the shifts that need to happen in your leadership and your ministry strategies and systems while being personally invested in your growth as a follower of Jesus and as a leader of people.

This fall, my team at The Unstuck Group is launching five brand new Coaching Networks specifically designed to help leaders grow together. And, we’re changing up the format from what I’ve done before. Instead of six one-day gatherings in six months, all of these new networks last nine months and include two-day gatherings in October, January and April, plus 90-minute video conferences in the months when you don’t gather in person. We felt like this would extend our time together while lessening the travel burden.

Here are the details:

Reaching 1,000 (Irvine, CA)

Move from reaching hundreds to reaching 1,000 in attendance by clarifying what’s working and what’s wrong, defining an action plan for next steps, and establishing a staffing and ministry structure that supports growth and health. Facilitated by Josh Clark.

Reaching 2,000 & Beyond (Dallas, TX)

Develop strategies to tackle the unique challenges of larger churches, including leadership development, staffing, communications, discipleship and establishing healthy growth engines. Facilitated by Tony Morgan and Mark Morgan.

Multisite Leadership (Colorado Springs, CO)

Learn from leaders who have served in some of the largest multisite churches in the country about developing a strategy and structure for growing the impact of one church in multiple locations. Facilitated by Paul Alexander.

Small Groups That Work (Nashville, TN)

Move from theory to practical next steps to help your church establish a thriving small groups ministry that provides a path for both healthy community and spiritual formation. Facilitated by Chris Surratt.

Next Level Teams (Houston, TX)

Build your team through staffing strategies including hiring and firing, establishing a senior leadership team, structuring for growth, leadership development, managing performance and eliminating team dysfunction. Facilitated by Amy Anderson and Sarah Bouma.

We’re limiting space in each of these networks to ensure the best possible experience, so if you want in, apply soon.

The team has introduced two new types of coaching networks, and these are designed specifically for leaders who want to grow their churches — either with a multi-site strategy or by taking intentional steps to reach the milestone of 500 in weekly attendance. All groups meet once a month for six months, and focus on giving you practical, applicable coaching.

3) GrowthSolutions Coaching w/ Mark Meyer & Chad Hunt | OMAHA or INDIANAPOLIS
