WHAT IS A PASTORMIND GROUP?
Mastermind groups have been around for over 250 years as a profound source of peer-learning and dynamic problem-solving in the business community. These groups have helped thousands of leaders grow personally and professionally by challenging each other to reach new heights previously thought to be unattainable. The PastorMind Group is a mastermind group designed specifically for pastors.
Who is this for?
The PastorMind Group is for any pastor who wants to increase their leadership capacity, grow their ministry, and accomplish daring goals with the encouragement, support, and expertise of other high capacity leaders.
What is required to participate?
Participation in the PastorMind Group requires commitment, confidentiality, and honesty. Group members must be both truthful teachers and humble learners who have a willingness to both give and receive advice and support.
Who is leading the PastorMind Group?
As your PastorMind Group Coach, Jeff Gauss brings nearly 30 years of ministry experience in a variety of contexts, 19 years of which was served as a Church Planter/Senior Pastor. He has served as a regional church planting director for Converge and has coached dozens of leaders. Recently, he founded Church Plant Solutions, where he helps churches build on a firm financial foundation.
How does it work?
The PastorMind Group Coach facilitates the discussion by helping group members dive deeply into issues and guiding each member to their success, as personally defined. You create the goal(s) and develop the plan to achieve it. The group helps you with creative ideas, wise decision-making, encouragement, and accountability to implement your plan.
- WIN OF THE WEEK and GOAL PROGRESS: Each person takes 2-3 minutes to share their win of the week and progress they have made toward their stated goal(s).
- The HOT SEAT: Each session will feature one person’s opportunity to sit on the “hot seat” for an entire hour to take a deep dive into whatever issue they would like the input, feedback, and guidance of the group on.
- ACTION STEPS: The session will end with each person sharing what action step(s) they are going to take in the week ahead.
When does it meet?
The Pastormind Group will meet weekly on Zoom video for 90 minutes every Tuesday (except the 5th Tuesday of the month) at 2 p.m. CST starting May 5 (a total of 48 group sessions a year). In addition, each group member will receive one complimentary 60-minute one-on-one coaching session per month (12 personal sessions per year).
That’s 60 transformative coaching sessions in one year! Can you imagine what you can accomplish in the next year with that kind of guidance, support, and accountability? The only limit is your imagination!
Is there a cost to participate?
Yes! You will receive 84 hours of annual coaching from a proven leader with nearly 30 years of ministry wisdom to share plus the collective experience of every other leader in the group. How much do you think that is worth?
Hurry! This is going to fill up fast!
“Being a part of the PastorMind Group is worth your investment. Jeff is a great coach and has an amazing ability to ask questions that helps you to discover the answers to your questions without just simply telling you what to do. For me, that alone is worth it. He is authentic and is able to quickly understand your context and help you discover how to better yourself and your leadership. I am thankful to have someone who understands my context, and personalizes the coaching to my organization.”
