Could Your Church Double Over the Next 12 Months? This One Did…

I’ve been preparing for the start of my new Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network and I’m getting more excited by the day.

The network begins August 25, but if you Apply Before THIS FRIDAY, July 22, you can save hundreds PLUS receive over $840.00 in Additional Bonuses!

The reason I enjoy leading coaching networks is because of the results, and I recently received this email from Rick Dorr, Senior Pastor of Stallion Springs Community Church near Bakersfield, California.

Rick shared how his church literally doubled in attendance of the course of the network:

Nelson,

Just a short testimonial to let you know that the church, since I started attending the tele-coaching network and implementing the systems, has doubled in size.

When I began the network we were running around 150 to 160 and now the church has over 300. Last weekend attendance was 294. Incredible!

Thanks so much. It is a lot of information to absorb and with the church doubling in a year I know that I have missed some of it but I have all of the materials to continue my studies after the network ends.

I am considering going through the process again and will let you know shortly.

God’s richest blessings upon you and your family,

Rick

That’s great Rick – keep up the good work!

How about you?

Are you ready to learn and implement the systems that will enable you to reach more people than ever before?

If so, I want to invite you to Apply Now for my new, 12 month Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network.

Who Says Older Pastors Can’t Learn New Tricks? (and a reminder)

My new Tele-Coaching Network for Senior Pastors begins in just over a month (August 25), but the Early Bird Deadline – and your chance to lock in the best available rate and receive over $840.00 in Additional Bonuses is NEXT FRIDAY, July 22.

I’m pumped about the great group of pastors who are already signed up for this network and I still have room for you (don’t wait until the last minute… now is the time to act!).

The time leading up to a new network is always a great time for me to tell you about some of my coaching alumni and all that God is doing through them.

So this morning I’d like to re-introduce Steve Reynolds, Senior Pastor of Capital Baptist Church in Annandale, VA (near Washington, D.C.).

I say “re-introduce” because if you’re a regular reader of the blog you probably already know Steve as the author of “Bod 4 God,” a book I’ve recommended to you in the past.

In the quick video below, I asked Steve to share some thoughts on his experience in my Coaching Network:

 

Are you ready to stretch yourself and grow your church over the next twelve months like never before?

This new Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network is almost here….

Don’t miss your opportunity to Save $600.00 and Receive Over $840.00 in Additional Bonuses – Apply Before NEXT Friday’s Early Bird Deadline!

Could Your Church Double in 60 Days? This One Did…

If you read this blog regularly, you know that the reason I keep leading Coaching Networks is because I’m addicted to the results.

After coaching over 1,200 Senior Pastors, it never gets old hearing about how God is working in churches all over the U.S. and beyond – old churches, new churches, large churches, small churches, city churches, rural churches, etc.

Here’s one such encouraging email I received recently from Ken Hoelscher, Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Participant and Lead Pastor of Carmel Mountain Church, a new church in San Diego, California:

Hey Nelson,

Just a quick update on what has been happening at CMC.

We have doubled in the last 60 days! The direct mail advertising has been working, however the results are still lower than I would like to see. If we can improve our results we’ll be growing even faster!

Our assimilation rate is good – we are retaining about 68% of the people who visit. We have really good services and a great Sunday experience.  We are looking to add another service and we may just not go back, we will see how the next couple of months go.

We will try to keep growing through the summer with various events and outreaches, with the goal of starting a third service on our one-year anniversary on 9/18.

This is all good news…

We’re working now to double our volunteer teams so we can move to two services. This is a good problem for sure.

I wanted to give you a heads-up on how things have been going around here.

It has been exciting!

Ken Hoelscher
Lead Pastor, Carmel Mountain Church
San Diego, CA

WOW – Keep up the good work Ken!

How about you, Pastor? What’s your plan to maximize your leadership and grow your church?

My next Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network begins on Thursday, August 25, and if you Apply Before May 31 (next Tuesday), you’ll Receive Over $1,475.00 in Additional Super Early Bird Bonuses.

Big Days Lead to Growing Churches – Great Easter Report!

Even though yesterday was Mother’s Day (and we had a Big Day at The Journey), I recently got a great report from Aaron Johnson, Lead Pastor of Life Point Church in Washington, PA, and a member of my current Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network.

He gave me permission to share what God is doing in their church:

Hey Nelson, just wanted to give you our Easter Update:

Let me begin with our service a week before Easter. We moved into a bigger Theater to accommodate the anticipated growth on Easter in both our Worship and Kids Ministry. We wanted to have a trial run the week before 3-17, so that week we had 130 people (a new record) with 14 first time guests.

Just as you have mentioned many times, when you are ready and prepared for God to bless he does. So we didn’t really know what was in store for Easter…. And on Easter we had 160 people with 17 first time guests. Really really cool to be in the middle of a move of God. Had two families come from our online advertisement through Google AdWords.

Thanks for all your help with how to conduct a Big Day. One of the big things that I know God used was the fasting and praying we did.

Thanks for making an eternal impact on our church!

Aaron Johnson
Life Point Church
Washington, PA

Awesome update Aaron – Go God!  And thanks for sharing what’s going on at Life Point!

How about you, Pastor?

Did you maximize Easter this year?  Are you prepared to head into the summer prepared to make an “eternal impact” and grow your church?

If you’re looking for a proven plan to expand your leadership and grow your church, consider applying for my next Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network.

Apply before May 31st and, if accepted, you’ll receive over $1,475.00 in Additional Bonuses – click below for details and to Apply Now:

My Crazy Travel Day Yesterday

I was flying back from Atlanta yesterday after speaking at The Velocity Conference and I had to take the underground train to my gate.  You know which one I’m talking about, right?

I admit it, I was late (gotta love Atlanta security lines – at least I avoided a pat down!). . Not much time to make my flight.

As I made it to the last step of the Escalator, I heard that sterile familiar voice:

Caution: Doors are Closing and Will Not Reopen!

I did what you would do….with shoulder bag in hand, I made a dash for it!

I made it….

….But my shoulder bag didn’t!

Nah, just kidding – I made it and so did my bag.

But I will say there were several in the already full train car who didn’t appreciate my daredevil (Super Pastor!) antics.

I made my flight but that’s not why I’m telling you this…..

I share this story because my Senior Pastors Tele-Coaching Network starts TOMORROW and I must warn you:

Caution: Doors Are Closing!

You see, now is the best time for you to join my network because now is the best time to grow your church.  Take that last step and run to apply!

Please don’t miss the almost full Tele-Coaching train (sorry, I couldn’t resist).

It only takes 10 minutes to apply online and yes, there is a monthly investment. A monthly amount similar to what I paid for my round trip flight yesterday…. but imagine what a month of personal growth and church growth coaching could do for you!

Please apply right now at:

www.ChurchLeaderInsights.com/telecoaching

I’ll be standing by to process your application quickly so you can make our first call tomorrow.

Oh, and the good news about this network?  Since its done by phone and computer, neither one of us will have to travel!  That’s right, you pay ZERO travel costs for this network.

Your road-warrior friend,

Nelson

P.S. I’ve now coached over 1,000 Senior Pastors and I’d like to coach you. The average pastor who completes my network sees 30% growth in attendance and at least a 25% increase in giving. They tell me that the network investment is fully recovered six to eight months into the network.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Don’t let this door close on you and your church – apply right now at:

Experience is NOT the Best Teacher

How many times have you heard someone (maybe even yourself) repeat the old saying “experience is the best teacher?”

And it seems like it should be true – the more we do something, the better we should get at it….

But the truth is, experience alone is a pretty bad teacher.

In fact, experience alone doesn’t make you better.  I just makes you, well… older (ha!).

No, the best teacher is “evaluated experience.”

In other words, just doing something over and over again doesn’t make you better unless you take the time to carefully evaluate, observe, take note, and make changes to how you’ve been doing things.

Never is this more true than in church leadership.

I meet a lot of pastors who think that they’re going to become a better leader or a better communicator simply by doing those things repeatedly for years.

Yet they never (or almost never) take the time to push away from the day to day routine and process the lessons that their experience is serving up for them.

That’s one of the biggest points of positive feedback from the pastors in my Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Networks – that they grow tremendously by having a monthly process, built-in to their calendar, where they can “get on the balcony” and see what’s really going on in their church.

And only after that carefully evaluated experience are they able to chart a course to grow themselves AND their church!

Here’s what Tim Ennis, Coaching Alum and Senior Pastor of The Heights Church in Houston, Texas area, had to say about how the network has helped him and his church:

Thank you for being a part of the network Tim – keep up the good work!

Pastor – if you’re ready to grow your leadership and your church more in the next year than ever before, I want to help you.

My new Tele-Coaching Network for Senior Pastors begins THIS THURSDAY and I only have a handful of spots left.

The network is a twelve-month process where I’ll come beside you, teach you, and help you implement the changes you and your church need to grow.

New Coaching Network – Can I Help You Like This?

Attention Senior Pastors:

My brand new Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network begins on Thursday, February 24th and I want you to prayerfully consider applying.

Here’s why: Because I genuinely want to help you and your church make the biggest possible impact for God’s Kingdom and this network is the best way I know to do that.

It’s a twelve month coaching process where you and I will meet each month (by phone and over the web) and I’ll personally coach you through all eight church systems.

After coaching more than 1,000 Senior Pastors over the last few years, I’ve developed a proven method to help you take what you’re learning and implement changes in your church that bring immediate Kingdom results, and lays the groundwork to keep growing in the months and years ahead.

In fact, I recently received an email from Brian Pipping – Senior Pastor of Grace Church in Illinois and a member of my current Tele-Coaching Network – where he shared some of the progress he has already seen a few months into the process.  He gave me permission to share it with you:

Nelson, Thanks so much for making the investment in our ministry. So far here are current results:

Groups System: We launched our groups system this fall with the Journey approach.  We average 500 adults on the weekend and saw 408 sign up for groups.  Last year our groups attendance was about 100.  Best in the twenty year history of groups in our church.

Assimilation System:  We implemented the entire system and have gone from capturing info on 2-3 first time families each weekend to 6-7 since implementing the system.  We had 20 families (65 people) visit in the last four weeks and 11 families came back for a second visit in that same four weeks.

Brian Pipping, Senior Pastor
Grace Church (Minooka, Illinois)

Go God! Thanks so much for sharing Brian – keep up the good work!

So how about you?  Are you ready to maximize your leadership and help your church reach its potential?

Growing churches are led by growing leaders.

The new Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network begins on February 24, and it’s filling up fast!
