Leaders Developing Leaders in all Ministry Areas!
After 30+ years of ministry and serving churches all over the country, we understand the difficulties you face as a leader when it comes to training volunteers critical spiritual and personal leadership skills.
That's exactly why we created ALIGN.
Leadership. In Action.
With ALIGN, you will see volunteers transform into leaders. ALIGN details specific steps guiding participants through the material. Included are group discussion outlines for each lesson. Your leaders will learn specific skills - practical "how-to" insights - in volunteer ministry leadership.
Transformations you can expect:
- leaders who develop their own spiritual rhythms and can share this skill with those they lead
- leaders who build strong, lasting relationships with those they lead
- confidence in leading by example and teaching others how they can do the same
- a process of how to recruit new volunteer leaders
- knowledge on how to coach the people they lead to achieve accountability and success
- leaders who know how to develop leaders, moving people forward in leadership instead ofjust volunteering

Video Lesson One: Spiritual Rhythms for Leaders
Volunteer and staff leaders are sometimes asked, "How should I study the Bible?" Here’s a reliable, easy to learn method you can incorporate into your own daily life. That way, when this question comes up, you’re ready with an answer!
Video Lesson Two: Building Strong Relationships
Strong relationships build trust, and trust builds independence. Have you ever wondered what makes some people natural leaders? Is there such thing as ‘natural’ leadership skills? Or, like all skills, can leadership be learned, practiced and improved upon? In this lesson, we cover some of the skills volunteers can learn to improve their relationships.
Video Lesson Three: Modeling Leadership
Are your volunteer leaders intentionally considering the influence of their body language and communication tone on those they lead? It’s easy to overlook these factors. What is the tone conveyed by your volunteer-led teams? Are they stressed, cheery, distracted, engaged? This lesson teaches leaders three important ways to model leadership.
Video Lesson Four: Recruiting an Apprentice Leader
Recruiting is one of the most crucial skills every leader needs to do well. No matter in what area we lead, asking others to join in, be involved with, and share the load, contributes to the growth of the church. Some shy away from leadership simply because they are uncomfortable asking others to get involved. This lesson not only addresses how to recruit, it clearly lays out why it is so important to the body of Christ.
Video Lesson Five: Coaching Leaders
A church is one of the most difficult places to lead. It can seem impossible to hold unpaid volunteers accountable, and as a pastor you care for the development of those you lead in more areas than tasks or ministry functions. So how can you get people to do what is needed and address their spiritual development? Coaching! Coaching is a powerful tool, and we address how to coach people in this lesson.
Video Lesson Six: Developing an Apprentice Leader
In the previous lessons, we learned why and how to recruit, plus ways to make sure people follow through on what they agree to do. Here we learn how to develop leaders who can develop even more leaders. This is the way to ensure there will always be enough people in leadership! Lesson six teaches you how by engaging in three specific principles. With guest speaker Dave Ferguson.
