Your church will never grow beyond the capacity of its leaders. This plan helps you develop the next generation of lay leaders in 90 days.
Most small churches have willing volunteers but no system for developing them into leaders. This plan gives you a structured, week-by-week pathway for identifying, equipping, and deploying lay leaders — without a formal training program or outside consultants.
What’s Inside
- Leader identification tool — how to spot potential leaders in your congregation
- Week-by-week development pathway — 13 weeks of structured growth
- Mentoring conversation guides — what to talk about each week
- Role assignment framework — matching leaders to ministry areas
- Accountability system — simple check-ins that keep development on track
- Graduation and deployment guide — how to officially release leaders into ministry
- Ongoing development calendar — what comes after the 90 days
Who It’s For
Small church pastors who know they need more leaders but don’t have a system for developing them. Works for churches of any size — especially effective for churches under 100.
