In the last couple of years, I’ve started getting requests from folks in ministry leadership positions who are looking for mentoring or coaching relationships. I know…among other things this is a sign that I’m quickly becoming one of the old guys. That aside, I’ve decided to take a stab at an option that should benefit those looking for a more focused level of coaching than they can receive through my blog and other outlets.

With Perry’s stamp of approval, I’m launching my very first coaching network. Unlike the network he is starting, however, this opportunity will be for you strategists and leaders who are supporting the senior/lead pastor of your church. (In other words, if you are a senior pastor, you are not eligible. Sorry.) The network will likely include 6 one-day gatherings over 6 months and meet at one or more of the NewSpring campuses. It’ll be limited to 12 participants and will likely begin in September 2008. Specific dates are yet to be determined.

If you are interested in receiving more information, please complete the following form. I’ll reply with more details in the coming weeks. And, yes, bribes are welcomed.

UPDATE: You folks are too kind. I’m really humbled by the response. Given the number of initial applications I’ve received, I’m only going to keep requests for information open through the end of this week.
