A Year of Resources

Published on 12/20/2011

A Year of Resources from Leadership Network

 

Leadership Network continues to grow and evolve to help our clients move from "Ideas to Implementation to Impact". Since January, we've convened over 40 Leadership Community and InnovationLab gatherings (both in person and online) 15 of which were new groups.

We launched three new Leadership Community topics: Next Chapter Pastors, University Ministry, and Multiethnic Churches, and four new InnovationLab topics: Internet Campuses, Dream Centers, Campus Pastors, and Externally Focused Small Groups.

In addition we continue to launch new groups for ongoing areas such as Missional Renaissance and Rapid Growth Churches.

We hosted four online conferences: Turning Points, Staff Infection, The Nines and connectLIVE.

We released 10 new books and you can even click below to buy one this Christmas.

We launched a new mobile app that delivers an array of features right to your phone, iPad or Android, the Leadership Network app. And we launched an app for the iPhone and iPad called Leadia, with four downloadable enhanced ebook experiences (also listed below), and we anticipate releasing more experiences next year.

Our research team published 18 downloadable reports on topics ranging from church mergers, short-term missions, multisite ministries and large-church leadership (all listed below).

And together our team uploaded almost 200 videos on our YouTube channel.

        Hi all, I am just new on here, and seeking some help derarging the new piano course, which of course i am interested in, however there just isnt enough material, no sample to show me whether this is suitable for me or not. Has anyone bought this piano course and if so, how is it? I am buying from Japan and so i am not really up to buying something, then out of lack of satisfaction sending it back again. I have a dream of playing worship for my very small church, we have no musician so therefor I desire to play the piano but have given up in the past because i just dont have the time to learn these worship songs note by note because i am a busy mother of 3, oh but i so want to play SOMETHING! help!
