Why a Community of Practice?
EncounterBuilder Outcomes
CULTURE > events
Get off the merry-go-round of the fad books & “newest thing.” Use events to catalyze a reproducible culture not pastor-dependent. Move people from consumers to producers who confidently embody the Gospel of the Kingdom.
COLLABORATION > siloing
Unify vision, vocabulary, and values. Your team will think in terms of STEPS, not programs, fostering a collaborative approach to church-wide healthy disciple replication.
CONNECTION > isolation
Leadership is lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. Break out of isolation, inspire, & get inspired by other like-minded & innovative leaders who understand the cross pressures of leadership & are passionate to learn how to live healthy, holy & missional.
COACHING > confusion
Proven success: leaders & teams that are coached in communities of practice consistently see clarity achieved, confidence & competency amplified, & goals reached.

What We Expect of Ministry Team Huddles
Team Expectations
High Commitment
Team members have demonstrated personal investment & interest in establishing a discipling culture that mends. Attend every meeting, read materials, & offer reflections.
High Challenge
Teams will cultivate a rhythm of revelation & response, consistently learning to live from their true identity in Christ & move outward in leadership.
High Investment
Teams will receive support, prayer ministry, resources, access to ECMC staff, and access to your coach outside your regularly scheduled time. We are for you.
High Accountability
Every Huddle ends with these two questions: What is God saying? What will I/we do about it? And at the next Huddle, you’ll be asked how it went. Every. Single. Time.
Financial Investment
Most coaching programs only focus on the skills of the senior leader, for 60 minutes, once per month, in a group, for at least $500 (believe us, we’ve been there).
We take a different approach:
The whole team, the whole time, the whole way for the sake of the whole culture.
Everyone for $8,196/year or $683/month
One executive leader in coaching cohort
Plus up to five total in internal Team coaching huddle
Additional executive & team members $99/month
Covers everything (including the Waypoints)
Doesn’t include reading & event materials
