Beyond the Calendar - Baptist Association Leaders - Masterclass | October 26, 2026

In this masterclass, Jeremy G. Woods challenges Baptist Association leaders to shift their focus from merely managing a calendar of events to intentionally strengthening the local churches they serve. The session introduces the S.E.R.V.E. Framework, a strategic approach designed to help Associational Mission Strategists and Directors of Missions move away from program-centric ministry and toward need-based support. By prioritizing the actual needs of pastors and their congregations, leaders can ensure their efforts are truly impactful rather than just busy work.

Throughout the training, Woods provides a practical roadmap for evaluating ministry effectiveness beyond typical metrics like event attendance. Attendees will gain actionable insights on how to identify genuine ministry opportunities, select the right type of support—whether that be training, resources, or personal connection—and maintain accountability to ensure those needs are met. This masterclass is an essential resource for those looking to transform their associational ministry into a vital force for church health and growth.
