Follow Jesus into the Future of the Church
An all-in-one membership for Christian leaders seeking Spirit-led ways to grow, adapt, and thrive.
Facing Big Challenges? You're Not Alone.
Faith+Lead Membership is for you if you’re:
- Holding together too many programs with too few people
- Watching attendance dwindle despite your best efforts
- Trying to nurture discipleship in a distracted world
- Wondering how to stretch limited time, volunteers, and resources
- Longing to lead with faith and imagination—but feeling stuck
- Sensing a call to start something new, but aren’t sure where to begin
What If You Didn't Have to Fix It All?
What if the job wasn’t to hold up the institution, but to follow Jesus into something new?
To let go of what’s not working. To discern where the Spirit is moving. To lead with courage, curiosity, and hope?
That’s where the Faith+Lead Membership comes in. This is a place where you can get the resources, training, and community to lead faithfully in a changing world.
We'll Help You Make Four Key Pivots
The future of the church isn’t one big fix. It’s a faithful reimagining.
Here’s the path we’ll walk together:
Pivot 1: Posture
From fixing to listening, discerning, and experimenting
Trade burnout for Spirit-led experimentation.
Pivot 2: Focus
From membership to discipleship
Shift from counting "butts and bucks" to cultivating lives rooted in Christ.
Pivot 3: Structure
From one-size-fits-all to a mixed ecology
Create space for new expressions of Christian community that meet people where they live, work, and play.
Pivot 4: Leadership
From clergy-led/lay-supported to lay-led/clergy-supported ministry
Don't carry it alone. Equip the whole Body of Christ to lead and serve together.
Everything you need to equip your community to follow God into a faithful future.
