Founded on the “green pastures” principle of Psalm 23, Greenfields exists to help church leaders flourish. Leadership training is an important component of restoring a pastor’s health and well-being.

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."

Psalm 23:2-3

Greenfields offers the following half-day leadership trainings to help you – and by extension, your church – thrive:

o   Defining Your Mission, Vision, and Values – Explore who God created and called you to be through energetic, guided facilitation and group work. Leading from your core with purpose toward God’s dream is our desired outcome. Ideal for a weekend workshop with church leaders!

o   Church Growth from Finish to Start – Discover a comprehensive way to grow your congregation beyond reaching young families and over-programming. You will learn our approach to help your church take the next right step and act on its mission. A wonderful introduction for your pastoral staff and entire congregation.

o   Building Congregational Culture – Transform your church’s culture with simple interventions to heighten mutuality, accountability, and trust. Managing change takes perspective and patient execution. Sharpen your skills to strengthen your culture. Perfect for your Deacons, Elders, or Leadership Team.

o   Re-framing Staff Evaluations – Turn your outdated annual evaluations from a stressful information dump into its opposite! Our goal is to repair your feedback process and transform evaluation into an exercise to which you and your staff look forward. Great for Personnel, Human Resources, or Pastor-Parish Committees.

o   Re-balancing Church Staff Retreat – Do you feel like your church staff is stuck in their proverbial silos, at-odds with each other (or close to it), or facing a demanding season and could use some focused time together? Carve out some time to invest in your church staff. A life-giving gift for your church’s staff.

o   Preparing for the Search Process – What can you expect in today’s ministry job market? How has the search and call process changed? Find out what your church needs to do to prepare your heart, mind, and congregation. A wonderful option for church leaders anticipating a pastoral transition.

o   Silent Retreat – Great for first-time silent pilgrims who want to unplug, disconnect, and reflect. Our half-day guided retreat allows you the safe space to slowly detach from and slowly re-enter into the noisy cacophony of everyday life. Perfect for Deacons, Elders, and Leadership Teams to be still and know.
