Pastor’s Coach Boot Camp
Lead well.
Without burning out.
Your church wasn’t meant to run on exhaustion.
Most churches burn people out—including the pastor. The Boot Camp is a 12-week roadmap to build a church where everyone operates in their gifts, leadership multiplies, and ministry feels like life again.
From duty-driven to delight-directed. From carrying it alone to leading a team that leads with you.

A different way to lead
Move from carrying everything
to developing people.
After working with hundreds of pastors, we’ve found that most churches—no matter their size, tradition, or theology—fall into one of two patterns:
The Fantasy Church
Vision stays on the whiteboard. You cast it, preach it, pray over it—but nothing really changes. People nod on Sunday, then go back to their lives. You start to wonder if the problem is them, or you, or something you can’t quite name.
The Factory Church
Things are happening. Programs are running. But it takes everything you’ve got to keep the machine going. Volunteers burn out. You burn out. Everyone’s serving out of duty, not delight—and deep down, you know it’s not sustainable.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And it’s not a character flaw. It’s a model problem.
There’s a third way—and it changes everything.
From Factory to Family
What if your church could be a Family instead?
A Family Church isn’t soft or sentimental. It’s a church where:
- Every person discovers how God designed them—and serves from that, not from guilt
- Leaders develop leaders, instead of the pastor doing everything
- People take ownership because they belong, not because they’re obligated
- Growth happens because the church is healthy, not because you’re pushing harder
This is what the New Testament actually describes. It’s team-based. It’s gift-based. It’s sustainable. And it produces the kind of fruit that lasts.
The shift:
From duty-driven → to delight-directed
From pastor-dependent → to team-multiplying
From running programs → to developing people
A pastor’s experience
“It wasn’t a program. It was a total paradigm shift—out of traditionalism and into the leadership model and church-building strategy that Jesus intended.”
Pastor Mike Harding
Love Gospel Church, Arizona
Spring 2026 schedule
A 12-week roadmap
from Factory to Family.
The Pastor’s Coach Boot Camp is a live, online experience that walks you through the complete shift—from carrying it all yourself to building a team-based, multiplying church.
We’ve broken the journey into 3 focused phases, so you can join for the full 12 weeks or start where your church needs help most.
Published session time: Tuesdays, 9:00–10:30 a.m. Pacific. The dates below belong to the Spring 2026 programme.
Phase 01
Clarify & Align
Weeks 1–4 · March 24–April 14, 2026
For pastors who need to step back and get everyone on the same page.
You’ll walk away with:
- A clear Vision and Mission that actually mobilizes people
- A simple Strategic Plan your team can own
- Understanding of how your leadership gifts fit with others (the Ephesians 4 framework—practical, not theoretical)
- The first steps toward a “spiritual family” culture instead of an organizational culture
Outcome: A written playbook and aligned team ready for what’s next.
Phase 02
Develop People & Leaders
Weeks 5–8 · April 21–May 12, 2026
For pastors who need more engaged people and more leaders.
You’ll walk away with:
- A framework to assess and intentionally shape your church culture
- The Destiny Finder process—helping people discover their gifts, passions, and calling (this is what moves people from duty to delight)
- The IRTLS model: Identify → Recruit → Train → Launch → Support
- A plan to turn faithful helpers into reproducing leaders through apprenticeship, not just classes
Outcome: Development plans for key people and emerging leaders, and a culture that’s shifting.
Phase 03
Implement & Multiply
Weeks 9–12 · May 19–June 9, 2026
For pastors who have vision and some leaders, but need a real plan.
You’ll walk away with:
- Leadership teams with clear roles (vision, care, evangelism, teaching, prayer)
- A small group model designed for discipleship, care, and outreach—starting with a pilot group
- A simple outreach and assimilation system your people can actually run
- A 12-month implementation plan built around the 5 Growth Steps
Outcome: A realistic roadmap you can begin using immediately—not another binder on the shelf.
Tools to put it into practice
A complete system
for the journey.
Most leadership training gives you ideas. The Boot Camp gives you a roadmap and the tools to walk it.
Over 12 weeks, you and your team receive:
- 12 live Zoom sessions with teaching, Q&A, and real-time coaching
- The complete 12-module roadmap (PDFs, checklists, job aids, templates)
- Destiny Finder tools to help people discover their design and calling
- A 12-month implementation planner so you know exactly what to do after the Boot Camp ends
- Lifetime access to recordings and materials—train new leaders for years to come
- Ongoing support options (group coaching, assessments, optional 1-on-1 coaching)
The biblical pattern
Develop people
who develop people.
We don’t just teach leadership principles. We help you shift from a “pastoral” model (where you carry everything) to an “apostolic” model (where you develop people who develop people). It’s actually the biblical pattern—and it’s the only way to build something sustainable.
Accessible pricing for real-world churches
We know most churches don’t have a training budget sitting around. That’s why we’ve:
- Created phase-by-phase pricing so you can start where you are
- Discounted the full journey for those who commit upfront
- Included alumni rates so you can bring new leaders through again
2026 published options
One phase.
Or the full journey.
Every church is in a different place. That’s why each phase stands alone and fits together as a complete roadmap.

Who it is for
For pastors who want
to lead for the long haul.
A good fit if…
- You’re a senior pastor, campus pastor, or ministry leader who wants to stay in ministry for the long haul
- Your church is roughly 50–500 and you feel the tension between where you are and where you could be
- You’re open to a different model—not just more techniques
- You value Scripture, the Spirit, and practical application
Probably not for you if…
- You want a quick fix without rethinking how leadership and culture work
- You’re more interested in debating theology than building a healthy church
In their words
A framework that pastors
can put into practice.
"I feel alive again. I feel like a 20-year-old."
Boot Camp graduate
"The Destiny piece unlocked something in our people. They started taking initiative because they could see how God wired them—not because we guilted them into serving."
Associate Pastor
"This gave us a framework and a language. Now my leaders can articulate what we're doing and why. That's when multiplication started happening."
Senior Pastor, 200-member church
Questions about the programme
Before you take
your next step.
These answers describe the published programme. Contact us to confirm options for a future live cohort.
Is this only for charismatic churches?
No. We come from a charismatic background and draw from Ephesians 4 and team-based leadership. But the principles are broadly biblical—churches from many traditions have used this roadmap to multiply leaders and small groups.
What if I can only do one phase?
That’s fine. Each phase stands alone. Start where your church needs help most. You can always join the next cohort for another phase.
Can I bring my team?
Yes! And we encourage it. The Boot Camp works best when your core leaders go through it with you. Contact us about team pricing.
What's the time commitment?
One live session per week (90 minutes), plus time to work through the module materials. Most pastors find 3–4 hours/week is enough to stay engaged.
What if I've done the Boot Camp before?
Welcome back. We’ve restructured into 3 phases with updated content. Alumni get a special rate and you can bring new leaders through with you.
You weren’t meant to carry this alone.
Your people need you healthy. Your church needs leadership that multiplies, not exhausts. If you’re ready to stop running a Factory and start building a Family—this is your roadmap.
