      Everyone has that drawer in their kitchen, or maybe yours is in the office. Mine is typically full of batteries, scotch tape and pens, the dried-up ones mixed in with those that still work, and probably some box tops I was supposed to send to school with the kids so their classroom could have 10 […]
    • Loving through grief
      There are many things about the book of Job with which I wrestle. Job 42:7 is one of those. Job’s story is familiar: A righteous man by God’s testimony, Job experiences horrific tragedies (permitted by God): loss of livelihood, death of his children and painful illness. His friends comfort him for seven days by sitting […]
    • Loving across borders
      I sometimes like to sit on the porch of my apartment building with my neighbor. We talk about life as we watch the world go by, and as I’ve gotten to know her, we’ve shared coffee, food and stories and even gone together to the local pool. But I share this with a nagging thought […]
  • What We Do
    • Church Multiplication
      •  
        Church planting continues to be a crucial area of ministry for USMB. Studies show churches are the most effective way to bring more people into the family of God. Partnering with local churches, districts, USMB and Multiply to plant churches, is not just a good thing to do, we must do it. Click to see more about Church Planting.
    • Disciple-Making
      •  
        USMB is actively involved in helping provide our churches with dynamic ideas, resources and programs for encouraging people to become fully-devoted followers of Jesus. Jesus said, “Go and make disciples….” We strive to facilitate that profound command. Click to see more about Disciple-making.
    • Leadership Development
      •  
        USMB’s leadership development strategy stems from the real need to actively develop more leaders within the local church who are living on mission in the workplace and in their communities and to fulfill the demand for additional pastors, church planters and missionaries.

LEAD Initiatives for Pastors and Churches

Leadership Education And Development (LEAD) initiatives offer several opportunities for providing a firm foundation for MB pastors and leaders in leadership, discipleship and networking. LEAD initiatives are key for developing ministry, connecting with others and growing closer to God. Delivered through a comprehensive mix of active learning methods, these resources enhance overall church and pastoral health.

If your church is healthy and strong, there is still a lot that USMB offers your church, staff and volunteers. If your church needs a shot in the arm, we can provide that too. If your church is struggling, there are resources in place to help you. As well, our district leaders are working hard to assist churches in their respective districts—we’re working together to build healthy churches.

We firmly believe the local church can and should have an effective ministry for reaching the lost and transforming lives in our communities. USMB strives to assist our churches in enhancing that capacity and in gaining future ministry health and vision.

Our LEAD program includes:

LEAD Labs — Short, one to two-hour leadership training seminars focusing on church growth for elder boards/leadership teams. Does your board need training about a particular issue? We can help.

LEAD Coaching — A network of certified coaches paired to pastors/leaders for an agreed upon term. This is life-on-life coaching for personal growth and life enhancement. It’s been said, “Every pastor would benefit from having a trained life-on-life coach.” Read more.

LEAD One – Regional one-day leadership training events providing key leadership ideas for pastors, elders and ministry leaders—tools for the leader’s “tool chest.” As church teams learn together, many new ideas can be readily incorporated into the life of the church. Read more.

LEAD Cohorts – Online meeting place for small groups of MB Pastors and/or leaders, or anyone interested in learning more about a specific topic over 3-4 months. LEAD Cohorts are free to all participants with the exception of curriculum expenses, if recommended. Read more.

LEAD Consults — These are more extensive consultations for developing long-term ministry vision and direction. Board retreats, ministry team workshops, evaluations, advice.

CHAT — Church Health Surveys along with a consultation by a trained consultant. Need a picture of your church’s current health? This is a good first step.
