Keeping
track of phone numbers and emails is almost impossible for a church. Keeping
track of all of the events, birthdays, programs and groups in the church is
exhausting. Having to constantly pass this information on to everyone can be frustrating,
and keeping it up to date with your computer, the church computer, other ministry leaders and your cell
phone seems like the impossible dream. Until now. Whether you are a small church
with no offices (like ours) or a large church with many offices, keeping
everyone up to date can be a challenge. Our need was for people who lived in different towns to be able to help us
enter information and also access that information for groups and ministries
that they lead. We also have both mac and pc users
on our leadership team and needed an application that both could access. The only
solution we could find was to look for a program that was web-based…. Read more of Pastor Mike Biolsi’s (North Country Fellowship, |

CBA
Summer Leadership Summit - The Value of Assessment Good
leaders understand what James Thurber meant when he said, “It is better to
ask some of the questions than to know all the answers.” Wise leaders ask the
right people the right questions and take their answers into account. The
“right people” are your church’s members, attendees and visitors. The fear
of “hearing something” you don’t want to hear is no match for the pain of
discovering the truth when its too late to do anything about it. A
comprehensive assessment provides churches with the information and insights
necessary for effective leadership. You get input from “everyone” not just
the loud and the unhappy. You can plan for the future more effectively since
you clearly understand the “now.” You benefit from the interpretation,
experience and input of a team of experienced and impartial consultants. The seven
regions of CBA have agreed together to have Dr. Bill Hoyt serve as a guide
and mentor in selecting and training coaches to assess congregations
throughout our regions toward health and effectiveness. Dr. Hoyt is the
President of NexStep Coaching and Consulting. He is a graduate of Wheaton
College and Bethel Seminary, and is a respected leader of leaders. He has
worked with Dr. Paul Borden to train the leaders who helped to facilitate the
turnaround of scores of churches in Northern California. Pastor
Nick Lillo, Centennial Community Church in Littleton, CO said: “Bill Hoyt and
NexStep Consulting have had a significant impact on our ministry at
Centennial. The church assessment was pivotal for us renewing our vision as a
church and regaining a clear picture of what God is calling us to as His
people in this place.” If you
are interested in this training or know another pastor who you would
recommend, contact Randy Keeley ASAP! This is a great opportunity to help
move our association along to greater health and effectiveness. Below is
Dr. Hoyt’s criteria for attending the summit:
The
Summit begins Wednesday evening, July 23rd and concludes by noon
on Friday, the 25th. For more details on the |
