Leadership Nexus

Leadership Nexus was created as a way for church leaders to find resources, training and ideas to be more effective, more innovative, and a greater sense of spirituality in doing the work of the Kingdom of God. Dr. Robert Pierson founded Leadership Nexus out of his experience in providing leadership for the church through various denominational and ecumenical organizations throughout his ministry. Out of that experience he mobilized the best positive resources to help the church to do the work of Jesus Christ.

Leadership Nexus provides training events, consultations, and local church training. Leadership Nexus with the support of "Church Leadership Training Foundation" a non-profit founded by Dr. Robert Pierson provides training and leadership resources for clergy, staff, and lay leaders in local church of all sizes and strengths across the country. The focus of Leadership Nexus is therefore to provide the best training that is available!

Evangelism

Dr. Bob Pierson's book, Needs-Based Evangelism, has become a best seller across the church. He has done numerous workshops on evangelism based on his book. This approach for evangelism always creates significant growth in new church members and committed leaders!

The local church part of the training is done in three steps - motivation, training, and planning.  

The second phase of this evangelistic training is to offer an evangelism workshop on Saturday or Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for clergy, staff and lay leaders of other local churches in the area.
