Strengthening Pastors

Healthy churches are led by healthy leaders. Through assessment, coaching and covering, strategic planning and supportive networks, we can help you maximize your God-given potential to fulfill your mission.

LEAD Teams

A LEAD Team is a gathering of relationally and missionally committed pastors from a geographical region or affinity group. Teams meet together regularly to build meaningful relationships, focus on spiritual growth, and work together to see mission accomplished through multiplying (planting) new churches, and nurturing church health.

While church planting is a strong emphasis of each LEAD Team, church health is equally important. Participating pastors/leaders challenge each other, learn together, and resource one another in a caring environment to stimulate the mobilization, health, and impact of each church involved in the team.

Pastoral Renewal

We believe in pastoral self-care!  Statistics today show that pastors are burning out and quitting at an alarming rate.  Well planned sabbatical leaves can make a world of difference in pastoral health and longevity.  We also understand that it can be difficult for a pastor to self-advocate for a sabbatical leave.  This brochure can help a board understand a need, and we can some and help a church and pastor address and plan for an effective sabbatical leave.

These are but a few of the services we offer to help strengthen the pastor and the church.  Our desire is that pastors and churches thrive.  

CGL has been an encouragement to our church by organizing networking opportunities, resourcing us as leaders and praying for us. We know we can call on CGL staff to help us think through strategy, policies, or even church conflict. I am thankful for our relationship with CGL. They serve us really well so we can be better together!
