Renewing Leaders
Harbor Network is committed to the renewal of all things through the gospel of Jesus Christ. And our leaders are no exception. We need circles of safety and cycles of strength. The first is about community. The second is about rhythms that lead to sustainable ministry. These two ideas work together to highlight our distinct approach to ministry, community, and life.
Ronnie Martin, Director of Leader Renewal
“We don’t strive for a strength that’s invulnerable. And we don’t hide in a safety that’s weak. Instead, we embrace our vulnerabilities and limits, and lean into circles of safety and cycles of strength to leave a legacy of renewal that ripples out from us and beyond us.”
RENEWAL INITIATIVES
Mission flows from renewal. This means that renewal is not a luxury; it is the basic position for anyone on the journey of ministry. Renewal-driven mission is our heartbeat and the thrust behind each of these initiatives.
• Lead Pastors & Wives’ Retreat
Designed for our lead and pastors and wives to experience a week of rest, fellowship, encouragement, and renewal as they pause from the day-to-day challenges of ministry life.

Our annual conference provides pastors and church leaders with opportunities to learn, train, and become better equipped to live out the values of our network.
• Renewal Gatherings
One-day events for pastors, wives, and church staffs to cultivate deeper friendships with leaders in proximity to their region.
• Cohort-Based Learning
Online training for ministry-specific categories led by seasoned practitioners.

“Harbor Network is an incredible ministry partner. From the launching of churches to the care of our leaders, the staff is always eager to serve and the churches are full of some of the most talented people we've ever worked with.”

UPCOMING EVENTS
"When our church decided to multiply, our search led us to harbor, and we couldn't be more pleased. We were extremely impressed with their hospitality and commitment to serving our congregation. The Harbor team went above and beyond to understand our families, and we look forward to serving as we have been served."
