Church Training
10 Ways to Grow Your Church & Your People by Moving Your Content Online
Having worked both as the Director of Connections and Home Groups at a large Christian church for over six years, I know how daunting it can be finding a specific day/time for new believer and discipleship training, not to mention volunteer and home group leader training. But what if you could host some training online (never to replace connection with the Body of Christ) and then connect people with discipleship mentors, ministry leads and pastors on the back end as people meet certain benchmarks in the training?
Conserving your time as busy ministry leaders is vital for sustained ministry.
Here’s some ways I serve churches just like yours:
-
Creating a Welcome Series for new attendees to orient them to your church’s mission, vision, values and ministry connection points to rapidly connect them within the Body of Christ
-
Tiered Discipleship Training for four distinct levels of engagement available 24/7/365 for those who are “exploring Christianity,” those who are “growing in Christ,” those who are “close to Christ,” and those who are “Christ-centered” (based upon Willow Creek’s Reveal Study) and then connect with a lay mentor as they finish each series of lessons for a 1:1 coffee chat (notifications auto triggered within learning platform)
-
Volunteer Training for each church department to alleviate monthly, quarterly and annual training needs run by your busiest church leaders. Keep up with needs for a steady flow of vetted and trained volunteers for kids, youth, connections and other ministry areas while monitoring exactly where each person is in completion of required training
-
Adult Teaching and Home Group Leader Training to equip adult leaders to prepare for teaching sessions and guide group conversations including life transformational application.
-
Coaching and Mentorship Training to train up discipling leaders to walk alongside new believers, guiding them in common issues and obstacles of embracing their new faith and spiritual disciplines
-
Ministry Intern Training to equip new ministry interns in the day to day operation of each ministry area while augmenting your staff
-
Baptism and/or Membership Training that can be conveniently accessed and then connect with pastoral staff and ministry lead for 1:1 follow-up
-
Required Benevolence Training for those requesting church funds to train in financial management, budgeting and life skills (training accessible from their phone).
-
Job search Training to get at the root issue for those experiencing symptomatic marriage and financial difficulties (and requesting pastoral counseling) by helping them find sustainable, meaningful work so they can resume providing for their family and begin to tithe.
-
House replays of key live training events for those who could not attend.
Any one of these uses listed above could save overwhelmed pastors and ministry leaders between 2-10 hours per week!!
Here’s how I can help! I partner with churches to build out online courses and trainings to augment leader’s time to deal with things that only they can. If you are interested in seeing how I can customize training for your specific church needs, please email me at Jayna@CourseBistro.com. I look forward to serving you and your church!
