Multiplying Leaders
Transformational ministry formation with a flexible approach that meets you where you are and equips you for where God is leading.
“I want robust ministry development, but I don’t want to uproot my life or go into debt to get it.”
"Am I truly called? Am I capable?"
“Pastoral training shouldn’t be inaccessible to ordinary people like me whom God calls.”
We understand how difficult it can be to answer God’s call and feel ready for ministry.
We've coached hundreds of leaders through the journey you’re facing and watched them flourish in ministry without abandoning families, communities, or callings.
You don’t have to discern your call alone.
We are with you every step of the way.
