Getting started with AllTogether Consulting!

This page is designed to give you links to everything you need to get started with the ATC member-mobilisation strategy. The steps below explain how to get things going – with links to resources.

1. Download Leadership team workshop here

If you want to get the ATC Member-Mobilisation Strategy started in your church to see change in your evangelistic culture, then it’s important to have a team behind you.

Take your leadership team through a workshop to inspire them and to work together to make a plan. The zip file has a powerpoint and notes ready for you to go. But if you would like us to take this initial workshop with your leadership team, email Dave and we will gladly help if available.

2. Appoint a 2IC (second in charge) who can help you apply your chosen habits consistently

If chosen habits are applied consistently, they will  become your church’s natural habits — and the whole thing flies. The point here is to establish some well-considered new habits to get observable results (because results in this area are very important)!

Who in your leadership team might be suitable to be a 2IC to you in this? Who has leadership ability, the respect of your members, your trust — and gospel passion?

Why? What if you move churches — who sustains this? What if you take a sabbatical break? What if you become busy with another area of church life, and forget to apply your chosen new habits? It’s important to have someone who can stand up and sustain them so they have a chance to become your natural habits, and a part of your new evangelistic culture.

3. Annual review

After each year you are encouraged to (a) fill out the attached 10 minute survey and then (b) set a meeting date for your key leaders / elders board to review your years efforts and successes so you can modify your plans for the following year to ensure increasing effectiveness.

Please be in touch if you are interested to see if we can help.

Recommended Reads

Alongside the various resources we have freely available to you via the ‘Resources’ page to help you equip your church members, we also encourage pastors to read at least one book per year about evangelism. NZ-written books we provide include:

elephant coverThe Elephant in the Room’ by Dave Mann is a book for church leaders. It seeks to address an area of neglect that many seem disinterested in discussing: Evangelism is often in the ‘too hard basket’ in our churches, yet is integral to our mission. It’s the elephant in the room!
However, this book is only written because Dave believes there is hope. There is a way forward! Specifically, there are now solutions on the table that could remedy the current situation. They are profound — yet simple. The question is, are we ready to read, consider and apply them?
