The Strengthening Your Church workshop enables church leaders to keep a congregation focused on its task as God's agent in a particular place. The workshop presents the importance of a biblically defined vision, introduces leaders to the ten characteristics of a healthy church, and invites leaders to see their church as a system that can have a significant impact on its community. This manual provides additional material and suggestions for people who wish to lead the workshop.

This church health evaluation tool can help your congregation begin a process of healthy conversations that will clarify your vision and provide valuable information from the members of your church.

The Church Planter Retreat is a training module for church planters to consider the essential aspects of starting a new community of faith. Usually conducted over two or three days, church planters, sometimes with spouses, will consider ten different aspects of establishing new outposts of the Kingdom. The time together is not just about the content of the sessions, but also about learning from each other, spending time in prayer and reflection and listening to the voice of God.

This workshop helps leaders reflect on the tasks and abilities necessary to plant healthy churches. It includes topics such as: the biblical basis for church planting, the profile and family of the church planter, steps to planting churches, models for church planting, and the characteristics of a healthy church.

In this four-session workshop, you will learn the basics of what a mentoring program should be like.
