"We knew that our leadership pipeline needed work and we were confident that Auxano could help. After just the first day I realized that we saved two years of trying to do this by ourselves." Randy Hagemann, Gateway Community Church.
Do you have enough leaders to sustain your growth and to keep you off the ministry treadmill?
Do you have a leadership development strategy that you promote consistently?
Are you using simple, strategic, and reproducible systems in developing leaders?
Do all your departments use the same general leadership development process?
If your answer was "no" to any of these questions, you might benefit from an Auxano Leadership Pipeline co::LAB that is coming to Columbus, Ohio this fall.
An Auxano co::LAB is a continuous and collaborative process (hence the double colon) that 12 churches go through together in order to create a plan to develop more and better leaders in the life of the church.
Learning in community with other leaders makes meaningful application happen more intuitively and more rapidly. To use an old expression, as other leaders grapple with with you to apply leadership development principles in their local contexts, the "aha" moments will multiply for you and your team.
In an Auxano co::LAB experience, those who participate in the process will discover the operating philosophies embedded in other church's approaches to leadership development. This will then create potential opportunities for the entire learning community to support one another long after the process creation is complete.
Join with Living Hope Church, Urbancrest Church, H2O Columbus, H2O Bowling Green, First Baptist Church - Vandalia, LifePoint Church, Violet Church, Genoa Church, Mainstreet Church, FBC Hollidaysburg, and First Baptist Church- Kettering in a dynamic learning environment. We will also have a table with 4 church planters participating.
The process will guide your church in understanding current realities in your leadership development system and will redesign it around equipping leaders in the stages of: leading self, leading others, leading leaders, leading a department, leading the organization.
The process we will be going through has been designed and created over the last several years by Mac Lake, founder of the Multiply Group, who now works for NAMB and Auxano. It has been used across a myriad of churches of varying size, denominational backgrounds, and geographic location. Mac, along with me, will be at the helm of guiding the process for our six sessions.
At the end of the six sessions, each church will have created its own, distinctive leadership development strategy and process that aligns with the church's particular context, as well as its mission, vision, and values.
There will be six total sessions, all on Thursdays: September 3, October 1, November 12, January 7, February 11, and March 10. The sessions will be from 10:00am - 3:00pm at LifePoint Church in Columbus, OH-IO. Each participating church may bring up to four participants.
Since this will be a co::LAB, Auxano is able to keep the costs down. When Mac consults a church one-on-one, the cost is usually between $15,000 and $20,000. The cost for the co::LAB in Ohio is $2,500 for each participating church and is limited to the first twelve churches to register. (As of July 9, we already have the 7 churches listed above who have registered.)
To help you determine your need and readiness for the co::LAB, I would encourage your church leadership to access the Leadership Pipeline Assessment which can be found here.
If you're interested in signing up to participate in the co::LAB, you can access the Auxano Consulting Services Agreement here. For more information, contact me, Rick Duncan, at rick@auxano.com.
We only have 1 spot remaining. So, please act soon!
Save yourself 2 years of design work! You and your leaders will be glad you've come up with a process to multiply leaders in a simple, reproducible way.
