Teaching Seminars
How the Seminars work:
Two-Day Seminars
Coaching builds on in-person seminars. Eagle Brook Association presents the first seminar, and 360 Pastor delivers the second and third.
The teaching addresses essential concepts (mindsets) and actions (habits) for effective leadership. Our goal is to embed these permanently in your leadership culture.
All three seminars are complimentary for you. You are responsible for travel, lodging, and food (including lunches) as necessary.
Your first step is for you and your team to attend an EBA seminar.
Seminar Schedule
EBA offers its seminars around the country at various times of the year. See their schedule at: eaglebrookassociation.com

Seminar Purpose
Our interactive seminars present principles for leading well. The principles are rooted in the Bible, research, and experience. They work!
Seminars are designed to teach principles. You and your team will gain alignment with shared definitions, values, and principles.
We don’t teach you to imitate the specifics of Eagle Brook or any other church. The goal is for you to apply the principles in your context.
The seminars are full. This is why we add coaching. You and your coach will help you figure out how to apply principles in your unique context.
We invite you to bring up to eight key leaders, including elders, staff, and key volunteers. Most important? Your Board Chair and an Executive or Associate Pastor, if possible. The people you bring will work with you to implement change.

How our Teaching Seminars make a difference.
You and your leaders will gain a shared perspective on transformational leadership.
Expand your relevance.
In preparing for ministry, we learn Bible, theology, history, and “practical theology” (preaching, counseling, and management). These are important. In our post-Christian culture, however, we can’t assume people will just show up to engage with Christian teaching. Leaders today need missional mindsets and habits. Churches need to go out to where pre-believers and show how Christian truth is relevant in a hostile culture .
Enhance your skills.
Truly connecting people with God requires personal influence. This calls for more than cognitive skills. Effective missional leaders connect with people. They inspire others and equip them to live their lives well. This calls for authenticity and personal engagement. We want you to tap into your authentic person and then to learn skills you can put into practice. How you connect and what you do is what makes the difference.
Build your confidence.
Teaching strategies that focus on the informational may explain what people should do. But they don’t inspire new behaviors. True transformation is more personal. That’s why our seminars tilt toward the practical. When you lead for life transformation and organizational growth, you catalyze action. As you see your church start to evolve into a missional enterprise, you grow in your confidence to lead as well.
