Forward Focus Framework: Moving boldly towards new directions in ministry, deploying people in meaningful ways, and renewing generosity and stewardship. – with Dave Travis
Have your questions changed since the first of the year? I bet they have. And what will our church’s next year look like? Other than different? The Forward Focus Framework is a tool you can apply to help your church move boldly towards new directions in ministry, in deploying your people in meaningful ways, and, we believe, in renewed generosity and stewardship. But you are going to need a team and a flexible plan to help get you there. Dave Travis, co-creator of the Forward Focus Framework, will walk you through that framework with you and answer your questions on June 15th and 16th.
Dave Travis is the Director of Strategic Counsel to Pastors and Church Boards at Generis. He served with the Leadership Network for almost 25 years, including 8 as the CEO. While that work focused on larger churches and mega churches for 36 years, he has been a faithful layman at a smaller Baptist church. In addition to his service as a deacon, he has served as an interim pastor 13 times of both larger and smaller churches. Dave speaks not only from everyday conversations with large church leaders about their issues, challenges, and innovations but also from hundreds of days working with smaller church pastors in east metro Atlanta.
A graduate of Georgia Tech and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, he considers his best education happened through the personal mentors such as Lyle Schaller and Peter Drucker.
