Quick summary & fast links:

The Reach Australia Leadership Development Program

1. A COMPREHENSIVE CHURCH CONSULT.

We'll conduct a thorough analysis of your church. This will give you a picture of your current health, as well as identifying pathways for growth into the future.

2. MONTHLY COACHING WITH A TRAINED COACH.

To build on our initial church health assessment, we'll provide monthly coaching from trained coaches to help you implement change in your own ministry as well as throughout the church.

3. LEADERSHIP COHORT INTENSIVES.

Over 24-months, you'll attend residential intensives as well as online group training with a cohort of peers, with content delivered from ministry experts. These cohorts will provide you with the skills and tools for growth, as well as peers to learn and share with.

"Our pastoral team, and our whole eldership, found the process with Reach Australia really fruitful in assessing 'the state of play' of our current ministries, while also sharpening our thinking about our future plans and the steps needed to meet them. It was also helpful to have Scott and Derek's input into our ministry structures and future staffing needs. I highly recommend the process, including the follow-up meetings after their report, because it was both insightful and flexible enough to be adapted to our specific needs".
