January 18th 9:00 AM Ashland Leadership Training 

It’s been a couple years since we’ve had our last church wide leadership training day. While much has changed, who we are and why we do what we do hasn’t and cannot change. 

And yet, I’m sure as a leader you not only see but also feel the changes that have come about because of our continued substantial growth. This is why we need a day of Leadership Training. It’s crucial for good leaders to not only acknowledge these changes but engage them for God’s glory!

On January 18, 2025 we will have Leadership Training. At this meeting, we will cover many things you already know very well. We will also go over some very new things pertaining to communication and planning that we believe will be helpful for your ministry.

Do I really need to attend? If you’re getting this information, yes.

Are you saying it’s a required meeting? As required as it possibly can be in the life of a local church. We do understand there are things you may have already necessarily planned for you and your family. However, this 3 hour session will be a really important time in the life of our church. 

What if I lead in multiple areas of our church? If you are a leader of multiple teams or your leadership often crosses over into various responsibilities we want you to focus on one role as a leader. What team is the most essential in our church right now? While this is not a BFG training the principles will be relevant for your role as a BFG leader. 

What do I need to bring?(1) Your leadership team. Make sure your core team members are present (2) Your ministry calendar for 2025. (3) A working mission statement for your ministry. 

• Our church’s mission statement is: WE EXIST TO TREASURE AND SPREAD A PASSION FOR THE SUPREMACY OF CHRIST IN ALL THINGS FOR THE JOY OF ALL PEOPLES. We want every ministry tethered to this mission for the good of our church. If you do not have a mission statement for your ministry, start working on one now. Consider how to connect what your ministry does to the overall mission of our church. We will help you and your team work together on how this is both communicated and fleshed out more clearly in our church.
