WHEN TRANSFORMATION IS THE GOAL...
BOOKS, CONFERENCES & CONSULTANTS JUST DON'T CUT IT.
Would you rather work with a book or hands on with its authors? So deeply do we care for you that we are determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you have become very dear to us. - 1 Thessalonians 2:8
Although many books have helpful information, nothing replaces the ability to call and email coaches between face-to-face sessions. Like in basketball, the coaches are not there to score points or do the team's work for them, but they will help them better understand the game, maximize opportunities and provide constant encouragement. |
How many times have you been in a book or conference and thought: "Sure that sounds good in theory, but how would we actually do this in our congregation?" Every time you work with the Thompsons, you also learn from peer leaders who share common ground from other congregations. You not only receive support, encouragement and feedback from coaches, but from peers in similar ministry contexts. This can make all the difference in the world as theory and spirituality become a new normal in your congregation's culture.

What's better than the pastor or even the coaches telling you "the answer" to God's new calling upon your congregation? What if people in your congregation voiced some of these answers! Then there would not have to be as much trust or "selling" people on a new way forward. The Thompsons' process involves them leading congregations to a place where they can answer the most important questions about God's new direction for themselves! Anyone who has attempted to chance church culture or lead meaningful change can appreciate the difference between a "top down" approach and a grassroots transformation of a congregation's sense of purpose. Experience it yourself!
