Generosity InnovationLab | New Lab Now Forming
Is your church looking for the chance to explore new ideas and discover a new path? Do you sometimes feel caught between ideas and action? You’re not alone. That’s why Leadership Network has developed the InnovationLab, a unique environment designed to help you overcome the common obstacles to innovative thinking and problem solving in starting or developing a ministry area.
InnovationLabs are 12 month experiences that will bring fresh and new ideas to areas that have grown old and tired. Beyond typical brainstorming, your team will be stretched to think beyond the boundaries of current reality to answer the question, 'what's around the corner?' The labs are designed to help you infuse new ideas in an existing ministry area and/or give you a quick start in a ministry area, based on the tested and proven results of other churches. You'll get to hear from experts in various ministry fields and jump miles ahead of where you could go by yourself.
Leadership Network is happy to announce that it is partnering with Generis, a team of experienced guides for churches in matters of stewardship, generosity and fundraising, to create an exciting new opportunity. It’s called a Generosity InnovationLab and it is focused on helping churches create a culture of generosity and stewardship.
From Ideas to Implementation to Impact
This InnovationLab combines the results based collaboration Leadership Network is known for with the proven results based coaching of Generis to allow your team to shape a plan to create a culture of giving and stewardship in your church.
