Raise Your Children's Ministry Leadership Level in 2020

Do you feel like you have plateaued as a leader? That the ministry has outgrown you? Or perhaps you want to see the ministry grow, but you don't know what the next step is? Maybe you feel paralyzed as a leader? Are you looking to add more skills and tools to your leadership tool box? When you hear the quote - "Everything rises and falls on leadership," you cringe because you feel the weight of that statement. You are not alone. We have all been there. But the good news is this - You don't have to stay at your current leadership level. You can grow to the next level. 2020 can be the best year of ministry you've ever seen. How can this happen? The best way to grow as a leader is by having a coach. Someone who has been where you are. Someone who knows what you are facing because they have faced the same things. I can be that person for you. I would be honored to serve as your children's ministry coach. I have served in churches with 50 people to churches that ministered to tens of thousands of people. I can help you avoid critical mistakes because I have made them. Advance Children's Ministry coaching includes...
