Developing Leaders

Jesus modeled discipleship for us and showed us the importance of developing leaders. Our challenge was to figure out how to adapt that to today. How do we adopt what Jesus did to today’s church?

We started looking at our leadership development and saw a considerable gap between where we were and where we really needed to go. We started seeing many of the same issues regarding discipleship. When would we have time, where would we meet, how would we know where people were in their development? How could we ensure our leaders had consistent training that would empower them to disciple others in a way that aligned with the beliefs and the mission of our church?

We began to look deeper at options that would allow us to effectively train leaders in a consistent way that would be adaptable to our goals. As we researched, we really felt God point us to modern technology as a solution. An online learning platform was the one solution that really seemed like it could provide an answer to all of our questions.

By using an online platform to build courses, we realized we could be flexible and meet in person or allow for self-paced training. We could utilize interactive modules to gather feedback so we could see progress and we could assist people individually or adjust the course to better fit our goals. Without the need for materials, the costs could be contained.

Considering the schedules our leaders maintained, having the ability to take the course anywhere on multiple devices was a huge feature!

Once we really found the right platform to work with, we knew we could build a real training program that would adapt and grow with us and meet the needs of our church and that was affordable.

If you’re looking for a way to train and empower the next leaders in your church and have run into obstacles, we’d love the opportunity to help you!
