CRM - Empowering Leaders
Meet Our Team
| Dr. Paul R. Ford
He is deeply committed to his wife, Julie, and son, Stephen (19). He and his wife reside in Albuquerque, NM. Paul has a B.A. in Journalism from Tarkio College, Missouri and an M. Div. and D.Min. from Fuller Theological Seminary. He is also an ordained pastor with 10+ years experience in local church ministry. All that he shares in his seminars and writings come from field experience. Paul's focus today is training the Christian leader to become an effective steward of his or her ministry identity, and then helping to steward the ministry identities of his/her ministry team. Called the "Leadership 3-Step," Paul strategically ties together the stewardship process of leader, ministry team, and church/mission. All three are key to fulfilling the Great Commission, and leaders from Russia, Korea, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Uganda and Hungary are responding well to this training process. He also assists ministries in re-engineering their values from an "I" driven culture to a "We" culture. More recently, Paul is spending more and more time with Christian leaders in intensive one-on-one consulting on ministry direction. His Books & Workbooks published through ChurchSmart (800.253.4276)
