This is a coaching experience built around simple and practical systems and tools to help you take your next steps as a leader. We’ll take a look at best practices in growing, healthy churches. Together, we’ll press into tough conversations to help you get unstuck in your leadership and in your ministry impact.

You’ve probably heard me say before, “Your message has the potential to shift thinking. Your systems have the potential to shift behaviors.” This coaching network is focused on helping you discover the shifts that need to happen in your leadership and your ministry strategies and systems. You can’t continue to use the same systems and strategies and hope to experience different results. The only way to get different results is to engage different systems. This coaching network will challenge you to take those next steps.

Who will participate?

This network is designed for leaders and strategists who serve in a local church. Typically, that has included lead pastors, executive pastors and other senior leaders. The network will be limited to no more than 12 participants. You’ll participate in an environment where you can experience coaching but also learn from your peers.

What have others said?

“As a lead pastor this was incredibly awesome. Tony is a systems and process genius. Through Tony’s network I was able to gain a better view of helping structure my vision, my dreams and better lead my team. This was a six-month commitment and well worth the time.” –Michael Robison, Lead Pastor of Uncommon Church in Austin, TX

“I can honestly say this has been one of the best investments of my life. It’s amazing how much stretching and encouraging happens when folks with similar responsibilities get around the table and talk strategy. Tony’s insight and foresight are amazing! Anyone taking a part of this networking opportunity will be stretched, blessed, and a better leader for it.” –Jamie McDonald, Executive Pastor of New Horizon Church in Durham, NC

“This has been a great opportunity, not only to suck up information and advice from Tony, but to interact with and learn from some very gifted ministry leaders from all over the country. This is a growth opportunity I would have not enjoyed any other way. If you can swing the investment of time and money, do it! You will not be sorry.” –Hal Hunter, Ministry Pastor of The Church at Argyle in Jacksonville, FL
