Ways We Can Help You.

ON-SITE MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT

Besides classes for individuals, we provide the training, materials, and ongoing mentoring to enable any community of Christ-followers to develop a life-changing, self-sustaining spiritual formation ministry.

Just like a garden, real life takes time to grow.

 

We'll help you at whatever stage you are, from engaging your people in a nine-month journey, to training leaders, and even helping you to establish functioning small groups where real change can happen.


First, Growing disciples

The best spiritual guides are those who are on the journey themselves. We'll guide your people through an intensive nine-month spiritual formation process called Theodyssey. The goal isn't information. It's transformation.

Next, Equipping leaders

Those who experience the transforming work of Jesus want to give it away. We mentor them—training, coaching and encouragement—in how to gather others in community to engage in whole life transformation. This includes small group dynamics, spiritual directions skills and how to facilitate the Theodyssey material.

Then, Self-sustaining spiritual formation culture

We help establish a self-sustaining spiritual formation ministry in your church, equipping your leadership team to recruit, train, strategize, organize, innovate and empower others.
