Greg Finke

I have had the honor of helping many leaders and ministries do the following: 1) clarify and simplify what the mission of Jesus is and how to participate in it, 2) disciple their people to join Jesus on that mission as a daily lifestyle, and 3) align their ministry’s culture to champion and multiply that lifestyle among their people for the sake of the community. I would enjoy talking with you about how Jesus is messing with you, too.

Always Forward Ministries

We help Pastors, Boards, Staff, and Congregations with Pastoral Leadership Transition and Succession Planning.

Leadership transition will not look the same for every church. For this reason, Mark will customize the approach he takes for each church. Leading up to his retirement, Mark passed the leadership baton to Pastor Greg Griffith in January 2020. While 70-80% of churches experience negative results in pastoral leadership transition, King of Kings is thriving six years later.

Pastors who are getting ready for retirement do not want the mission of the church to slow down. They want to effectively pass the baton of leadership to their successor. Mark will come alongside you to navigate this often times complex and difficult challenge.

David Bahn

I help congregations, districts, RSOs, and other ministry organizations develop a clear, shared understanding of God’s mission in their setting through a Strategic Mission Planning process. Working together, participants identify their mission, vision, values, and ministry priorities, then develop practical goals and an implementation plan to move from clarity to faithful action. Follow-up coaching is also available to help leaders turn their plans into sustained ministry. The process has been used with congregations of every size as well as districts and other Lutheran ministry organizations seeking greater clarity, alignment, and mission effectiveness.

Dwelling 1:14

Dwelling 1:14 helps people join Jesus on His mission as everyday missionaries. We come alongside congregational leaders to help them answer three questions: 1) What is the mission of God according to God? 2) What does it look like for our people to participate in accomplishing His mission as a daily lifestyle? 3) How can our church consistently prepare our people for this lifestyle?

The Dwelling 1:14 training process has three steps. 1) We help you prepare your congregation for missional training with the book, “Joining Jesus on His Mission.” People are inspired, motivated, and ready. 2) We come to your congregation for a “Joining Jesus Training Weekend,” and equip your people with clarity and a personal plan for living as everyday missionaries. 3) We then provide ongoing encouragement and coaching via monthly Navigation Zooms as people implement their plans in daily life.

Dwelling 1:14 also offers Clarity Retreats for congregational leaders. The retreat results in leaders having clarity and a plan for how to implement a missional discipleship process in the congregation.

FiveTwo

FiveTwo believes your church already has what it needs to grow. The challenge isn’t desire; it’s direction. Too many leaders feel alone, tired, or overwhelmed by all the demands of leading a congregation. Too many churches get stuck dreaming but not doing. We walk with churches like yours to uncover what’s already there and help bring it to life. Through our Strategic Growth Process, we help you clarify your vision, rally your leaders, and launch ministries that reflect your unique calling. It’s not a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a Spirit-led journey designed to help your people flourish, and your community experience the Gospel in action.

ContactRandy Larson, rlarson@fivetwo.com

Offer for Go Network participants

Free LiveGenerous Campaign. Churches who sign with us by September 15 will receive a year-end LiveGenerous campaign culminating in a one-Sunday offering in-gathering. The package includes 5 sermons, emails, video script, and weekly cohort during the campaign for troubleshooting and encouragement. We have seen this historically result in the largest one-Sunday offering the congregation has received.

For more than 37 years, I have served in cross-cultural mission, church planting, evangelism, disciple-making, and leadership development in Latin America, the United States, and globally. Through Glocal Mission, I have focused especially on helping churches move from the Great Omission to the Great Commission by developing reproducible pathways that equip ordinary believers to live on mission, make disciples who make disciples, develop new leaders, and launch new ministries and churches. Our emphasis is not simply on adding programs, but on developing a missionary and disciple-making culture in which people move from consumers to contributors to leaders, and ultimately become disciple-makers who make disciple-makers, leading to the multiplication of new leaders, ministries, and churches, following the pattern of 2 Timothy 2:2.

“Living and sharing the Life that is truly Life” is my mission. Coaching is one natural way I get to do that. I have coached church planters and missional leaders since 2010, helping them to identify and accomplish God’s calling for them, while coming alongside with hope and joy along their journey. My 20 years of service as a district denominational mission leader have given me experiences and joys which keep me learning and growing and gives me insights to challenge and help others grow.

Michelle Thompson

Building leaders who raise up other leaders, bringing clarity when a team’s mission has blurred, and helping people work through conflict rather than around it, that is the heart of my work. I have done it across church, corporate, and academic settings: as an executive director in church work, as VP of Leadership Transformation for the Greater Houston YMCA, and now as leader of the Executive Coaching and Consulting program at Concordia University Irvine’s Townsend Institute.

Amy Meyer

I’ve spent time encouraging believers to shift how they see the people already around them, their neighbors, coworkers, and friends. Instead of feeling pressure to “do more,” I help them slow down, pay attention, and begin to notice where God is already at work. Through conversations, lifegroups, and discipleship relationships, I’ve helped people grow more confident in loving others well and sharing their faith in natural, relational ways. Through listening and asking questions that lead to discovering and discerning the next faithful step to take and trusting God along the way.

I work with pastors and ministry leaders through honest, direct engagements. Not a packaged curriculum. Not a personality assessment and a worksheet. A real conversation about where you’re stuck, what you’re building, and what it’s actually costing you.

Seth Kunze

I can help you identify a specific mission and vision for the long haul of ministry within a local congregation. Without it, “drifting” into doing whatever the new and coolest thing is can be a real struggle. Over the years I have also developed a basic discipleship continuum which attempts to meet people where they are and help them grow as disciples of Jesus. As a result, our church is actively involved in planting other churches, from working with a network, to planter development, to “preparing the ground” for future church plants. We want to plant churches that plant churches.

Dan Lepley

As a parish pastor, I have been blessed to see three different congregations grow in participation. As a Senior Pastor of a suburban church with a school, the weekly worship attendance grew from 325 to 588 per Sunday over six years. In my current call, the congregation has grown from 70 per week in attendance to 125 in less than two years. I’d be glad to talk with anyone who’s looking for encouragement in helping your church experience meaningful connection and growth in your local context.

Laura Pulliam

I have served as a DCE in both traditional parishes as well as in a new church plant. I have walked with ministries through seasons of grief, growth, and everything in between. One of my primary passions is to help individuals or organizations cut through ambiguity and use precise language to define their mission & vision. “Words create worlds.” The words we use to communicate the vision will shape the way we lead others (and ourselves).

Mark Pulliam

Every church is a contextual expression of the great commandment (love God, love others) and the great commission (make disciples). At Lazarus Church we have contextualized these callings in this way: we strive to be disciples inviting people to walk with us as we walk with Jesus through the rhythms of mission, discipleship, and leadership. We have identified seven Scripture-based and data-supported spiritual habits or rhythms which describe the way we walk with Jesus. And as we participate in them we are always open to the people the Holy Spirit will lead us to invite into those rhythms with us. Everything we do at Lazarus is filtered through this mission.
