Coaching for Missional Leadership examines the key principles and practicalities of coaching and mentoring for missional leaders in the context of church planting and fresh expressions of church.
Table of contents

If we look at budgets and responsibilities, the majority of money and time in a church …. Every Leadership Team experiences highs and lows, peaks and valleys.

The gap in our discipleship

Peak: The day you host your first gathering! Valley: the first time someone leaves your community. Any time you gather a committed group of people you experience the pendulum of life, the best and hardest parts, together. This is the beauty of community and presents its own gifts and challenges ….

Coaching for Missional Leadership

The questions we ask ourselves will define our practices. Think about the questions you ask either consciously or subconsciously and they will shed light on your daily, weekly, and yearly practices. If this is the question …. Leadership is a buzz word but we all know leading is unavoidable. Many of our current models for leadership highlight their communication skills, their strategic brilliance, or their theological acumen. Is this healthy for the soul of our leadership?

And are we willing …. If you think about it, neither living the single life nor church planting is easy. It takes a certain special combination of maturity, character, grit, and giftedness to plant healthy churches, and it takes a particular blend of patience, faith, wisdom, and self-control to live the single life …. First, we have a transparent, "absolute" bar overhanging everything.

Beyond information and behavior

That bar is the one that houses this off canvas area. Next, we have our "full-height" bar that is actually using a little bit of CSS magic to offset the height of the bar below it notice how that bar is always positioned at the bottom of the screen. Additionally, notice how the text and buttons inside this bar respond to the sizing of the viewport all without the need for JavaScript. Then, we have our last visible bar that houses our logo and navigation.

This bar becomes sticky as you scroll down the screen, and also shrinks to a specified ratio of its original size. Notice how the links maintain their positioning and the logo scales automatically. Also, we've turned on our "content scrolling" for this bar, allowing its contents to be scrolled horizontally on smaller screens, a pattern we're seeing much more of on mobile devices these days. That no longer is the case and follows a biblical precedent of God using ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. We can rest assured that God calls those who are willing and not only those with formal education.

Hugh Halter - How I Coach People into TRUE Missional Leadership.

The purpose of this resource is to provide a process of discernment that a team can work through to form a new worshiping community. This process is not linear! It is tempting to make the work linear A-B-C-D Following the Spirit is rarely neat and linear. Have you ever wondered if starting a new worshiping community is for you? The MLQ is a new, self-assessment to help you discern your level of readiness to become a new worshiping community leader.

Actions and Detail Panel

Although this does not take the place of the more comprehensive Discerning Missional Leadership assessment, this short quiz is a good first step in the discernment process. The MLQ is free, and you will receive your results immediately. Exploring Missional Leadership is a daylong introduction to the skills and competencies necessary to start a new worshiping community. Attending an EML can serve as a training opportunity for NWC leadership teams, mid council leaders and commissions, and individuals in the early stages of discerning a call to start a new worshiping community.

Discerning Missional Leadership is our most thorough form of assessment, and a requirement for those in our grant process. The DML is a 4-day long assessment designed to help discern the call and examine the leadership capacity of those interested in leading a new worshiping community. The assessment encourages participation by spouses and potential team members who are called to help model and promote missional living. There is also the opportunity for those being assessed to reflect on the experience and engage the group in how they see God at work at this time.

At the end of the DML, those being assessed will be given feedback on their readiness for the lead role in starting a new worshiping community, and what they can do to become ready for the task, or the encouragement that they are more likely to flourish in a different form of ministry. Discerning fit is essential not merely for success but for enjoying the work.

This assessment is for: individuals seeking insight and direction for starting a new worshiping community; for churches and other sponsoring groups to get feedback on the capacity of potential candidates to lead a new worshiping community; and students seeking help preparing. Often, we put our ideas of developing a new worshiping community in front of the theological reasoning to do it. This section will build a theological framework for the work you wish to engage in. Fresh expressions of the church defined by our mission. Downloads available include Spanish and Korean language resources.

If you are currently leading an NWC and would like more support, or are exploring a call to be a part of this movement, we encourage you to apply to one of our apprenticeship and residency programs. Applications will soon be available for the program. In being an apprentice or resident you will be inaugurated into a contextual and transformative new ministry from scratch. You will participating in a cohort of peers and mentors for reflection, training and discernment.

Each participant will also receive professional coaching session every three weeks fro their own development.

We have two apprenticeship opportunities: One for ten weeks over the summer in Los Angeles and one that takes place in your local context, part-time, September-May. Once an apprentice receives a spot in the cohort, we will work with them to find a coach. The nine-month national cohort members meet for conversation, training and discernment via Zoom on Thursdays from pm EST, beginning September 5.

Our events are continually being updated as we are invited to participate with mid-councils and our partners. Check back frequently. Our team has developed a series of videos on our YouTube channel that highlight NWCs in a variety of stages of development, as well as, conversations with NWC leaders. Our online and downloadable guide will walk you through the resources and the process to start a New Worshiping Community.

Have you ever left a conversation with clarity, insight, and courage? We believe this is essential for healthy and sustainable ministry, so we would like to connect you with a specially trained coach. Coaches meet regularly with you to listen, ask great questions, help you discover your gifts, and enable you to discern the way forward when you get stuck. Do you have a coach? Let us help you find a great one by filling out our application. Our coaches take the posture of servant, not expert.

The coach is there to ask questions that aid in discernment, not tell the NWC team what they should do. Therefore, our coaches empower the missionary team members to use their gifts to fulfill the Mission of God in a particular context, developing strategies and the key next steps. Our coaches challenge the missionary leader to rely on prayerful listening and reflection both private and corporate.

As you are in the discerning stage, there are grants that are available for your New Worshiping Communities. For a complete list of grants you can go to our funding page. While you are in the discerning stage there are two main grants that you are eligible for. No matching is required. This grant is designed to encourage the birth of new worshiping communities through congregations and presbyteries rather than to fund the expansion or support of existing congregations or programs.

Leaders of New Worshiping Communities are also eligible for the Health Insurance Grant which supplements health insurance for leaders. Grant applications are accepted continually. Watch for specific dates of when submissions are due.
