New Approach, Same Purpose

Thank you for visiting our new web site. It is our hope that the new look and the presentation of our ministry is appealing to you. We invite you to comment on our web site and any part of our ministry by going to our contact page and leaving a comment.
Our ministry, coaching churches, has not changed. We have made some adjustments in how we go about approaching church coaching. 
We have prioritized three coaching areas--preparation (a move toward leadership readiness), leadership (a move toward the search and calling of a pastor), and ministry (a move toward church health). These priorities are the result of the experiences with dozens of churches and pastors.

We are excited about what God is doing world-wide in developing healthy churches. The materials have now been translated in over 40 languages and are or have been used in over 50,000 churches world-wide and 30,000 churches in the US. It is the most widely implemented process in the world.
MinistryConnect is drawing together some pastors from mid-Missouri for an orientation to Natural Church Development, Tuesday, January 18. These pastors represent various faith traditions. Furthermore, you are invited to bring along another pastor from your local community who you think might be interested.
You will be provided a complimentary lunch and a paperback copy of the ABCs of Natural Church Development. We will be meeting in a central location, Room 508, of First Baptist Church, 301 E. Capitol Avenue, Jefferson City.

Pastor Search Survey
The Pastor Search Survey included in the Pastor Search Guide is one of the first steps in collecting information that is crucial to the process of calling God's leader for the church. As questions arise throughout the ministerial search process, referring to the Pastor Search Survey gives a Search Committee a foundation on which to respond.
One of the major responsibilities of the Search Committee is to gather enough input from the congregation to create a profile of a new leader who will bring unity and who will be able to lead the church into the future. To do this, all youth and adults are asked to complete the brief survey. The purpose of the survey is to give an accurate picture of the congregation and gather the preferences for a new leader.
The Search Committee is able to get the results of the survey in two forms: a) Ask the church secretary, a member of the Search Committee or a trusted member of the congregation to tally the surveys by hand and report the results, or b) Input the data online and receive all seven professional reports of the findings.
