This network is a group of 12 participants who serve in similar roles at similar churches. Tony offers this opportunity for church leaders to not only receive valuable leadership coaching from him, but also from each other as they meet once a month over a six month period.
Starting in April, I’ll get the opportunity to join this network of leaders. I’m anticipating my leadership skills, creative mind, and relationship with Christ to be stretched tremendously through this experience. Most importantly though, I anticipate the Kingdom of God to be multiplied through The Ridge Community Church from the coaching and insight I plan to apply to my daily life and ministry. I’m so pumped to put the knowledge I expect to gain into action.
In order to prepare myself for this experience, I tracked down three of the current participants of the first network and asked them a couple questions. Mainly, I asked them what they have benefited from the most by participating. Here are some of their responses:
"I have had a great experience and
really connected with some great guys who
were a part of my network….We had
several topics that were great: working with
our Senior Pastor, discipleship
& volunteer strategies,
branding/communications, growth strategies,
structure...those were all very
beneficial.” – Jason Stewart Worship
Programming & Communications for
LifePoint Church Nashville,
TN“You will really enjoy the network.
Tony will give you all you need to prep for the sessions…..Tony is really open
to share about his experiences.
I think each topic was relevant – he always
has taken time with us to look at current ministry issues.” – Josh Whitehead
Executive Pastor for Faith Promise Church Knoxville, TN“It has been a great experience being a
part of the network. It is an opportunity to hear what Tony has learned which is
a big part of the experience, but it’s also a great chance to learn from the
other people in the network…..As far as the sessions, they have all been very
appropriate for where I am as an executive pastor. I deal a lot with volunteers
so I think that was my favorite. My wife and I also worshiped at the Greenville
campus just before Christmas. It was good because it gave me a chance to
experience a lot of what Tony talked about.” – Jack Fisher
