NextSteps for Leading a Missional Church

One of the differences between a follower and a leader is that a leader knows what the next steps are for their organization. Even if they don't know what the actual next steps are they will relentlessly search for ideas, advice and counsel to get their organization to the next level. NextSteps For Leading a Missional Church is designed for any church leader who embraces the missional lifestyle. It offers ideas and tools to build healthy church systems that allow the church to actualize its values and achieve its mission.

FirstSteps Online Training Program

 

The FirstSteps Network is designed to help church planters and coaches minimize their mistakes. In some cases mistakes made in the first six months of a church plant can take up to six years to fix.

FirstSteps Network is a learning community. Every time we start a church we learn something new. Files and cutting-edge samples will be uploaded weekly to the Network from church planters all over North America and beyond.

Created out of the extensive planting and coaching experience of Gary Rohrmayer. Gary has been a church planter intern, pioneer planter, parent church pastor, church planting coach, denominational leader and national trainer. You name it... Gary's done it in church planting over the last 20 years. His friend Tom Nebel writes,

I have known Gary for fifteen years as we have both been involved in the starting of new churches, and I have continually been impressed with his leadership, character, vision, and competence in the work of seeing new churches begin and expand. Over time I have seen Gary develop into a fine mentor and coach of new church planters and seasoned pastors. In fact, it would not be hyperbolic to state that Gary is one of the finest ministry coaches I have ever seen. His experience, natural intuition, and dedication to seeing church planters succeed so God's Kingdom might advance has rescued many, many church planters.

FirstSteps offers three unique ways to serve you.

1. FirstSteps is a source of creative ideas for planters and coaches. These fresh ideas and cutting edge samples come right from the frontline of church planting.
2. FirstSteps is an encyclopedia of church planting knowledge. With the easy reference tool you can find a number of stand alone topics related to church planting, church health and leadership development. Each subject is integrated with CoachNet Resources.
3. FirstSteps offers step-by-step process through the stages of planting a missional church. The topics are linked in sequential order so the church planter can move through each stage without missing a step or critical issue.

 

I would like to join FirstSteps! I understand that a year of CoachNet is included with my FirstSteps Network membership. Current memberships will be extended by 365 days.
