Welcome to Transform!
Focusing the Church on Discipleship, Leadership Coaching, and Community Impact.
The Church
There is a fast growing list of books about how the Church is failing. Mostly, they are saying the same thing — churches are not relevant to truly transforming people’s lives and churches are not relevant to impacting their communities. Some are even saying that churches are a hindrance to a Christian living out his or her faith in a God-honoring way.
Other Organizations
The vacuum in prepared and principled leadership of our for-profit and non-profit organizations is documented by headlines as well as headhunters. Short-term thinking and self-serving need to be replaced by something else. But what would that be?
The Church
The Church must create organizational clarity, with a Ministry Plan about making disciples and impacting its community. It must be clear about the organization and everyone’s role to accomplish the mission. It must build cohesive teams. It must grow its people through shepherding, discipleship, and leadership development. And it must build real Biblical community as it does all of this.
Other Organizations
The solution is leaders who are prepared, principled, in the best roles for their effectiveness, and supported for continued growth. And organizational clarity, as well as cohesive leadership teams.
