reFocusing Networks for Pastors
Networks are safe-place learning communities where peer mentoring and coaching takes place. Six to eight pastors meet regularly (typically every month) and focus on strategic issues of ministry leadership, character formation, and skill development. The holistic integration of these components in a discovery-based, facilitator-led environment sets reFocusing Networks apart from other training venues or leadership clusters.
Phase One Networks:
In phase one, participants clarify how God has uniquely shaped them and how they can align themselves with his purposes as they surrender afresh to His rule in their lives. In so doing, they gain "leadership development eyes": discovering how to spot and support what God is doing to develop other leaders in their ministry.
Phase Two Networks:

Phase two is designed to develop strategic leaders who are personally up to the task and empowered with a process to help their churches discover and move into alignment with God's desire for their next chapter. Phase two deepens the capacity of leaders so that they might lead their ministries to wider kingdom influence.

Focused Living Retreats for Congregational Leaders
Focused Living Retreats give pastors a tool for mobilizing other leaders.
