Now
and Then. . .
A little over 20 years ago, the first Leadership
Network forum was held at Glen Eyrie Christian
Conference Center in Colorado Springs. Twenty-three
senior pastors from large churches across the
country gathered to talk about the issues they
were facing as leaders. The three most common
challenges expressed by these pastors were:
How
to remain a man or woman of God in the midst of
all the busy-ness?
How
to set a vision for a church?
How
to deal with the staff?
To
date, over 4,000 churches from the US and Canada have
been served through a Leadership Network forum, conference,
summit, learning adventure or leadership community. And
the challenges have changed a bit. Today, the list is
more topic driven:
How
do we do multi-site?
How
can our church become more externally focused?
