Build the leadership pipeline your small church needs to survive and thrive — without a leadership development budget.
Most small churches have no plan for developing leaders. They recruit whoever says yes, give them a title, and hope for the best. When that person burns out or moves away, the ministry collapses. This kit gives you a systematic approach to identifying, developing, and deploying leaders at every level of your church.
What’s Inside
- Leadership Pipeline Assessment — Map your current leadership capacity and identify the gaps
- Leader Identification Framework — Find the leaders already in your congregation who haven’t been asked yet
- 90-Day Development Plan Template — A structured onboarding process for every new leader
- Role Description Library — Clear expectations for 15 common small church leadership roles
- Mentoring Conversation Guide — Have the conversations that actually develop leaders
- Leadership Evaluation Rubric — Assess leader effectiveness without making it personal
- Succession Planning Template — Every key role should have a backup
- Leadership Culture Assessment — Is your church culture producing leaders or consuming them?
The Problem This Solves
A church that depends on one or two people for everything is one resignation away from a crisis. This kit helps you build a bench — a group of developing leaders who can step up when they’re needed.
