Disciple's Path Ministries: Discipleship and Leadership Training

On Site Training
Our goal for direct training and speaking engagements is to make the most of your time and our resources. We will work with you ahead of time to accurately determine the need of your organization and the best solution for meeting that need within the confines you have set for time and resources. That solution may be a combination of written materials, on-site training for your people and/or leadership, train-the-teachers, teacher content, teacher guides, study guides, student guides, devotionals for leaders and students, and whatever else might best meet the whole need. It's never about content but about impacting lives and facilitating the change and growth God desires to make you, your team, and your people into the disciples that most glorify Him.

For more information on pre-constructed source materials, see our Coach's Corner Publications page, or contact us about customization of existing materials or generation of new materials. We can even work with what you've already purchased to create a more complete training solution.

For information about on-site engagements, see the text below and please feel free to contact us directly about specific dates, projects, or combinations of materials and events.

Discipleship Training
Discipleship training is a generic statement in many churches to distinguish Sunday night and Wednesday night studies from Sunday morning Sunday School. If you need help or resources for these traditional activities (including Sunday School), we'll be glad to help, either in written materials, material customization, or on-site teacher training.

But consider another alternative for Discipleship Training. We can help you organize and deliver effective and impactful training to your congregation or group that is intense and holistic. We can help plan retreats, lock-ins, faith-focus weekend seminars, men's days, youth days, and the like. Let Disciple's Path carry the load and let your leadership be a genuine part of the learning and growing experience along with the group.

Leadership Training
Leadership training is so rarely dealt with in the church, perhaps because the leadership is so busy trying to meet the needs of the organization or simply tied so much into the administration of the ministry that they don't have the energy or time to be ministered to or to get training on how to be more impactful, more effective and efficient in the ministry they have.

Leadership training from Disciple's Path comes in two flavors--lay leadership training and team leadership training.

Lay Leadership. The people in your church, the youth workers, the organizers and speakers, teachers, and helpers, are in the business of making a difference in people's lives. They get a great joy from being used by God and often have the personality or inclination that they would rather serve others than be served. We honor that kind of commitment, but we also realize that this precious resource gets tired, gets worn, gets sidetracked in service and can sometimes lose sight of being a child of God themselves.

Disciple's Path can help those people find practical ways to improve their ministry administration, show them how to pursue a personal relationship with God in such a way as to have an even greater impact on their group, and even lead them to find better ways to utilize the time they have in and out of ministry, to use the joy they have in victory to carry them through struggle and even to spill over into other areas of their lives to make an even wider spread impact for Christ.

Subjects might include evangelism, personal Bible Study, praying for your people, electing and using leadership, reaching the outcast, ministering to the whole, creating events, managing time, sharing your testimony, instilling evangelism into your group, ministering to each other, peers and mentors, making the most of opportunities to impact lives, and many many more.

Team Leadership Training. While lay leadership focuses on those in positions of authority, organizers, leaders, teachers, helpers, and the like, Team Leadership are those peers within the group that have a leadership role. These could be administrative positions like officers, or they could have spiritual positions, like being the cornerstone or the spiritual leader, the ones others look up to. They could also be those who have a natural inclination of service or taking charge.

Whether by election or
