Allen White's Blog

coaching hundreds of other churches to do the same. Probably the best compliment anyone ever gave me was from a guy name Doug: “Thank you, Pastor Allen, for showing me I was the leader I never knew I was.” Your church is filled with Dougs.

Every day I get to do my favorite thing — coaching and encouraging pastors to take ordinary church members put an easy-to-use curriculum in their hands and turn them into the leaders they never knew they were. No guilt. No frustration. In fact, some of them tell me, “I’ve found the best thing I’ve ever done.”

If you would like to turn your audience into an army, here are some ways I can help you along with the rest of the Lifetogether Ministries:

1. Small Group Ministry Coaching

Small group strategies abound, but which one will help you recruit your entire congregation into community and help you recruit all of the leaders you will need. If you are suffering from information overload and would like a coach to walk you through the most effective and proven strategies, our Small Group Ministry Coaching is a great solution for you. Starting with a custom strategy for your church, you will be coached by expert, proven leaders to accomplish your goals. Take the guess-work out of small group ministry. Get a coach in your corner.

Spiritual growth and group success are difficult to measure. How do you know where your ministry stands? You probably have a sense it could be more, but what and where? This 30 Day Ministry Assessment will help you identify your ministry’s current strengths and weaknesses. By surveying group leaders and members, interviewing staff and key lay leaders, and reviewing your group history and goals, the Lifetogether team will create a plan for your small group ministries future success.

3. Curriculum Production Coaching

After selling over 4 million units of curriculum through major publishers, Lifetogether is now helping churches develop their own video-based curriculum. Whether you need the Lifetogether team to develop a full production curriculum for you or you would prefer to have the Lifetogether team train your staff and volunteer team to develop your own, we will give you the templates and methods to develop your own publisher-ready curriculum.

4. Curriculum Development with Major Publishers

Lifetogether continues to develop new projects with major publishers to disciple your group members. In addition to Lifetogether’s own award-winning, best-selling curriculum, we also contract with authors to create curriculum from their books, sermons and series.

5. Speaking for Conferences and Retreats

Allen speaks at a variety of small group leader and church conferences as well as local church retreats. Please contact me for available dates.

Lifetogether Ministries was founded by Brett Eastman, former small group champion with Rick Warren at Saddleback Church and Bill Hybels at Willow Creek Community Church. Brett and the team have coached thousands of churches and have produced hundreds of pastors over the last 10 years of ministry.
