Question: Every pastor is an interim pastor, so when should you start planning for the next pastor? Answer: on your first day as the new pastor!
How does a pastor finish well in ministry, go the distance, hand off the baton, and leave a lasting legacy? This webinar discusses the planning steps for succession and what boards and pastors can do now to plan for what God has next.

Speakers: Glenn Gunderson, Glenn Meyers and Fred Snider
Host: Mark Bargaehr

Whether its a professional staff, or a team of volunteers, every leader is confronted with the question: Should we try and develop this person or do we need to let them go? In this LeaderConnect, Jack Hamilton spoke from his vast experience as an Executive Pastor, and reflected on a series of questions (included below) which can help all of us make wise personnel decisions.

Speaker: Jack Hamilton (High Desert Church, Victorville, CA)
Host: Doug Meye (TM Developing Pastors Lead

Develop or Replace Conundrum

1. Are you beginning to lose other people by keeping this person in the seat?

2. Do you have a values problem, a will problem, or a skill problem?

3. What’s the person’s relationship to the window and the mirror?

4. Does the person see work as a job or responsibility?

5. Has your confidence in the person gone up or down in the past year?

6. Do you have a bus problem or a seat problem?

7. How would you feel if the person quit?

Your Church Survived 2020... Now What?
Countless church leaders are living in the tension between in-person digital ministry strategies. Digital strategies are critical for engaging people who are earlier in their spiritual journey. Physical expressions are critical for engaging people who are further along in their spiritual journey. Watch and listen as Mark Bargaehr (TM Church Health Lead) hosts a discussion with George Beardsley (High Desert Church, Victorville, CA), Matt Lewis (Beachpoint Church, Fountain Valley, CA) and Kirk Mackie (TM CHAT member, NOVO Missionary) about building a hybrid church, staff and financial health, and the future direction of your church.
