MD - ALL ABOUT  THE MINISTRY LEADER

being fruitful and fulfilled!

The MD portal is a one-stop shop for Ministry Leaders serving in pastoral ministry and administration at all levels of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. MD will help you shape and develop your leadership with clarity, use tools and integrations to power-up your ministry, and generate the conversations that matter for your and your team.

We were asking ourselves – what would it take to help those in pastoral leadership be the best that they can be. Spirit-filled, resourced, developed, supported – leading themselves, their families and their ministry in a way that builds up the Kingdom, bringing glory to God.
MD brings the work and experience of many great leaders, pastors, chaplains and academics together in a way that leverages our best learnings, simplifies communication and storage, and maximises ministry and leadership development.

THE VISION FOR THREE-WAY SUPPORTED MINISTRY

MD was born into a wider vision for Conferences to facilitate 3-way support for each and every leader. When a leader experiences PERSONAL, PEER AND PROFESSIONAL support, they have environment to thrive and grow! 

PERSONAL SUPPORT

Accountability Partnerships

MD provides resources for personal reflection, inviting you to ask an honest friend to serve as your Accountability Partner. 

A safe person for you to talk openly with about your relational world, with your best interests at heart, your Accountability Partnber can also challenge you to nurture your walk with God, those closest to you, and yourself.

PEER SUPPORT

Collegial relationships

Pastoral ministry has community building at its heart. Even as we seek to build community, we are also called to enter into community ourselves and make time to connect with others in minsitry.

Strong friendship wth colleagues through Conference Ministry team events and Regional meeting is important. It's also important to enjoy the firendship and support of those who lead beside us in ministry.

PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT

Tools to Map and Develop your ministry.

Ministry Maps facilitate the Planning, reflecting and collaboration required on the journey to clarity and purposeful ministry. 

The REAP cycle empowers you with insights, conversation, resources and accountability that fosters your growth as a leader.
THE OBJECTIVE OF LEADERSHIP MUST BE THE TRANSFORMING OF LIVES NOT JUST THE ORGANISATION OF AN INSTITUTION”
