WHAT DO THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS HAVE IN COMMON?

“I don’t have enough leaders.”
“I need leaders who take more initiative.”
“I wish my leaders were more committed.”
“We can’t get people to step into leadership.”
“I don't have time to focus on leadership development.”

In our work with churches all across North America, we have heard these comments and many like them from leaders in all types of churches, whether big or small and no matter the denomination.

So what is it that they have in common?

Each statement is a reflection of a leadership development problem within the organization.

Pastors are stressed because there is so much to do and not enough leaders. They get discouraged because they lose a good leader and don’t have anyone waiting in the wings to take their place. They feel defeated when they offer training but only a few people show up.

After working with numerous churches, pastors, and leaders over the past 30 years, we believe that the best investment you can make in your church is in the development of new and existing leaders.

The problem is that many staff and lay leaders struggle to develop others, and the result is a shrinking leadership base, which leads to a failure to advance the mission of the church.
