The
most important tasks
Experts will be quick to tell you, 90% of your results come from
10% of your work. Your elders will never find a more productive
way to invest their time than by focusing on the ten most important
tasks elders face.
Quickly
and easily learn to be more effective
Shepherding will lead your elders to quickly and easily use their
time in the most productive way to reach members of your congregation.
Complete
step-by-step instructions
You’re busy; your elders are busy. They need practical methods to
do the type of ministry they know needs to be done. Shepherding
will show your elders how with complete step-by-step instructions
so they won’t have to guess or try to “wing it.”
Proven,
guaranteed methods
At last, proven and tested ways for elders to be effective that
are guaranteed to work in YOUR congregation. Shepherding is designed
for Churches of Christ. Elders won’t have to waste time trying to
change and adapt what theorists from other groups have written.
Minister
to Church Members Who Need You the Most
Imagine what it would be like if your elders could identify members
who need their love and leadership the most. If they could minister
to those who are hurting and need them NOW how much more effective
would they be?

Customized
to YOUR congregation!
No one knows your congregation like your elders do, and despite
the hype, one size does not fit all. That is why Shepherding is
designed to give them the tools to quickly customize this ministry
to YOUR congregation. Your members will appreciate this personalized
approach. Too often members are turned off by attempts to minister
that seem forced or fake.
Build
on Strengths
This ministry takes the things that your elders are already doing
and shows them how to focus on those things that are most important
and how to do those things more effectively. By starting where your
elders are and focusing their efforts they will see results immediately!
KEY
Areas
Are there any more important things that elders do than visit the
sick and bereaved, pray for the congregation, work closely with
the ministers, show love to the church family and keep maturing
in Christ? Elders know the things that need to be done and are already
trying to do them. By focusing on key areas of their ministry, they
can do more and be more effective.
Shepherding is designed to give elders specific steps to do the
key things they know they need to do more effectively and efficiently.
Prevention
How many of the problems that your eldership has dealt with over
the last year could have been prevented? Your eldership will be
far more effective if it invests the majority of its time doing
those biblical things that prevent problems and promote growth rather
than trying to fix every member’s problems.
