Equipping + Developing + Training

We Equip Develop and Train
Pastors and Ministry Leaders
to Fulfill The Mission of The Church.


Mentorship is a training conference geared toward equipping, developing, and mentoring Pastors, Church Leaders, and Ministry Teams who desire to excel in ministry.

Growing a church in our post-modern world takes more than conventional processes and popular methods. It demands spirit-led creativity, adaptability, purpose, and structure. The ability to manage time becomes essential as a church or organization grows. What brought you to where you are today will not take you to where God is leading you.  A church cannot grow beyond its present structure. We cannot spiritualize organizational issues, and we cannot organize spiritual issues.  Building a church takes strategic planning and structure as well as those spiritual components. Jesus fed 5000 men only when He organized them into groups. This year's Mentorship Training Conference will take you and your ministry team to the next level numerically, spiritually, and financially.  We must increase our capacity to grow in areas of administration and structure. When we do this, we create lanes for the ministry team to drive. Mentorship Conference will change your life and those who labor with you in ministry. It is our deepest desire that this training conference will change and enrich every attendee, culminating in a divine visitation by the Lord. Our Prayer is for God to give you the instruction and wisdom you need to take your church into the dimension of blessing and realized potential.

Mentorship has built a reputation for providing instruction on cutting-edge church growth principles.  Given that ministry requires vision, passion, creativity, and insight. Mentorship is designed to equip, train, mentor, and inspire pastors and leaders with practical tools to increase their church’s effectiveness.


Mentorship was birthed out of a desire to see pastors equipped with the tools they need to lead and grow dynamic churches. In 2000, the first conference was held in Atlanta, GA. The hundred or so individuals who gathered there were challenged to reach deeper, go further, give more, and increase their faith to believe in God for their cities and communities.
