Forming aspiring leaders
with Churches in Pittsburgh

Develop leaders each year without adding hours to your week

Pastor, which one describes you?

I'm too busy
to train
others

You want to multiply leaders, but your schedule is too full. Yet here you are: preaching every Sunday, handling every crisis, making every decision. Meanwhile, promising members ask, "How can I serve more?" And you have little to no time to spend with them.

I'm not sure
where to begin

You have a burning desire to pour into others, yet there are so many topics and tactics to choose from. What comes first? How do I know when they are ready? What if I don't have enough wisdom and experience to pass on to others?

I don't know
if I have
any leaders

You long to lead with a team of leaders, but you don't know where to find them. Do you wait for ready made leaders to show up? Do you send your promising few to another city to train elsewhere? You want to release people into ministry, but you don't want to lose them in the process.

I want my potential leaders around others

Your church has proven pathways for developing leaders. You’re investing in your people—and you’re grateful for their growth. And yet, you know there’s more for them beyond your own staff and pastors. You want them shaped by other leaders and learning alongside peers across the city. But that raises a question: Where do those kinds of spaces actually exist?

The Growing Tension

Every Pastor Faces

You see the potential in your people. That small group leader who asks thoughtful questions. The part-time worship director who's ready for more responsibility. The marketplace professional sensing a deeper calling.

But you're stuck between two painful choices:

Send them to seminary → They disappear for 2-4 years (and might never come back)
Try to train them yourself → Add 10+ hours to your already maxed-out week

And over time, it begins to show.

Leadership development slows. More and more flows through you. The work becomes heavier than it was meant to be.
