Course Overview
You’re called to help people grow in their relationship with Jesus. But the truth is, conventional ministry approaches often have little or no impact on spiritual growth...and that’s discouraging. Well, get ready to be delighted because this church leader training helps you explore how to create spiritual transformation in any ministry setting. You’ll master Group’s pioneering R.E.A.L. strategy (Relational, Experiential, Applicable, and Learner-based) to build and deepen spiritual growth in children, youth, and adults. You’ll gain practical tools in this online course to create a highly engaging, transformational ministry that leads to deeper spiritual growth and discipleship.

Welcome
Thom and Joani Schultz welcome you as you begin your journey to make your ministry R.E.A.L. Gain from their wisdom and learn practical tools to be a more effective church leader.
Getting R.E.A.L.
Take a pre-course ministry assessment to better understand your current ministry practices. After the church leader training online course, and once you’ve implemented R.E.A.L. strategies, retake the assessment and notice greater ministry impact.
Module 1. Relational
God created us to learn within the context of relationships. Understand how people learn best and the importance of relationships for personal transformation and deepening faith.
Module 2. Experiential
What we experience through discussion and action sticks with us longer than what we hear or read. In this church leadership training curriculum, discover how to create a ministry experience to increase retention and draw people closer to Jesus. You’ll receive an experience to practice with your ministry group and then learn how to create your own.
Module 3. Applicable
Knowing about God isn’t an end in itself. What really matters is how that knowledge changes everyday lives. Learn how to make your ministry applicable to those you lead.
Module 4. Learner-Based
We measure success not by how much information we present but by how much people learn. Through this church leadership training course, you’ll understand what learner-based ministry looks like and the characteristics of 21st century learners that define how we do ministry.
Module 5. Ready?
You’ll be challenged to step out of your comfort zone and review action steps to move your ministry forward.
