Natural Church Development Coach Certification Training  At the heart of NCD is the Scriptural picture of the church as a living organism, not just an organization. Looking at the church organically gives us a different perspective on what growth means. The growth of organisms focuses on their health, their capacity to reproduce, and how the individual body parts interact. They are grown, not built. They are nurtured, not assembled. The NCD paradigm suggests that if church growth is about growing an organism, the health (quality) of the organism is going to have a direct impact on its size (quantity). If a church can become increasingly healthy over time, it is more likely, and better able to reproduce disciples, ministries, and eventually itself. Phase 1 (3 days) This training is intended to help prepare church pastors and church leaders (denominational and lay) to become coaches who will guide churches through the NCD process. Topics include:
Approximately 6 months after the Phase 1 training: Phase 2 (2 days) This training is geared for NCD coaches who have completed the Phase 1 training and are working with a minimum of one church on the NCD Survey and process. Topics will include:
