Whether launching a new ministry or leading an existing one, this course will help you in two primary ways:
-
- To build engaging and impactful internal ministry structures in your church while…
- …simultaneously engaging the community around you in more effective and sustainable ways.
While there is no “prescription” to ministry – what works sometimes doesn’t work all the time, and what works for one church might not for another – the goal of this course is to present principles and practices you can explore, adapt and contextualize most effectively in your own unique church and ministry setting.
Perhaps above all, this course will provide a framework for you to discover, implement and sustain your next best steps no matter where you are on your ministry journey of foster care, adoption, family support and global orphan care.

THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU
If you are leading a ministry, you need a great plan.
“But I’m just a volunteer leader.”
“But I’m a senior pastor that has too much on my plate already.”
“But I’m just a staff member and don’t really have the final say on things.”
Volunteer Leaders:
First off, you’re not “just” a volunteer leader – you’re a leader. There’s no “just” in there. You may not be in charge, but your passion and advocacy is highly influential, and there’s so much you can get done. This course is for you.
Senior Pastors:
You’re absolutely busy. We get it. What if we told you that you don’t actually have to lead the ministry, but instead can do a few simple things that make a significant difference, then empower others to handle the rest? This course is for you.
Staff Members:
Does this ministry fall under your department? Someone else’s? What does your involvement need to look like? You’ve got a ton of authority but perhaps not the final say. How do you lead well with all that to juggle? This course is for you.
