Church Plant and Revitalization
Church Planting
The Iowa district purposes to plant two new churches each year throughout the state of Iowa. Potential church planters are assessed for their readiness through a carefully developed diagnostic too. Each church being a parent or a partner is the goal.
Church Revitalization
Churches throughout the state are assisted in a return to health through the revitalization
Breaking the 125 Barrier
Breaking through the 125 barrier in attendance may be the most challenging task a pastor can face. That’s probably why only 25 of our churches in the Iowa Ministry Network have broken through that barrier. I want to help your church become the next one to do it.
That’s why we’re forming Breakthrough Coaching Groups. The leadership of the Iowa Ministry Network believes you can break through this barrier! It took us four years at Christian Life Assembly to break through the 125 barrier. We did it and so can you!
Please consider this invitation to be part of a Breakthrough Coaching Group with other pastors who are believing God for a breakthrough just like you. Here are the specifics for the Breakthrough Coaching Groups:
Only six pastors per group. Six monthly coaching sessions, featuring training on breakthrough principles and coaching regarding particular circumstances in each church. An on-site visit and evaluation. Development of a breakthrough plan specific to each congregation. Monthly training materials (books, CDs, DVDs) will be provided. Telephone and e-mail access to your coach throughout the process
thebradshaws@gmail.com. As I mentioned only six pastors will be allowed in each group so time is of the essence. Our plan is to launch the group after the e2 Conference in September.I am looking forward to coaching these groups starting this fall. If you are interested in being a part of one of these exciting groups, please call my assistant, Gloria Bradshaw, at 515.975.9366 or email
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to give me a call at 515.953.0322.
Breaking the 250 Barrier
With over 125 people in regular weekly attendance, your church has done what 80% of the churches in the Assemblies of God have not accomplished—broken through the 125 barrier. But, the next barrier may be just as challenging—breaking through 250. The leadership of the Iowa Ministry Network believes you can do it. That’s why we’re forming Breakthrough Coaching Groups.
