How we accomplish our mission
Online Mentoring
Church Renewal offers mentoring-discipleship tracks for Lead Pastors (both genders), Marketplace Leaders (both genders), Women in Ministry, and General Discipleship. Small groups in each track meet online for one hour per week to discuss and put into practice an assigned lesson. The mentoring-discipleship season runs 32 weeks each year. This steady and systematic approach, modelled by Jesus, is most suitable for absorbing information, ensuring implementation, and preventing drift.
Resources
Because Church Renewal’s mandate is to renew and equip church leaders and saints alike, its content is comprehensive. Pastors receive 1500 pages of content through five levels, while the discipleship materials for the other tracks consist of nine series: Abiding in Christ, Grow Your Character, Prayer, Lead Well, God the Trinity, Spiritual Gifts, Spiritual Warfare, End Times & Eternity, and Apologetics.
Tools
In order to encourage pastors and saints to effectively minister, mentor, and disciple others, we have formed easy-to-use tools so this can be done in a systematically and confidently. These tools are now being converted into easy-to-use apps, conveniently available at all times.
Given Freely
To promote the spirit of generosity, the Lord directed Church Renewal not to charge for resources or for mentoring. Rather, we trust Him to provide through those He prompts to financially support this ministry. The only condition to receiving these resources is active participation in the mentoring track for which the materials are given. The resources are not for sale to non-participants.
