The Path
to Change

Leaders
Go First

The Path to Change was developed by Life Spring Network to help guide churches in determining which courses and seminars they could start with or what their next step might be in their transformational journey. It is comprised of 4 steps, along with the appropriate courses to help churches accomplish those steps.

Step 1

Awareness and Conviction

Bring awareness to churches that we are not obeying The Great Commission (to go and make disciples) and the conviction that we must repent.

Intro to the Omega Experience Seminar

In this two-and-a-half-hour seminar, participants will receive a brief history and overview of the Omega Experience in a way that clarifies its purpose for church-wide transformation. It is designed to help people understand the changes that we must make as the church of Jesus Christ if we are going to fulfill The Great Commission.

Beyond Self-Help

Beyond Self-Help is used by churches and individuals alike in small group studies to initiate the church transformation process.

Meet Them Where They Are

The church in America is addicted to programs and topical learning. We are desperately in need of Biblical relationship training. Use these seminars (Creating a Connection Culture and Unity in Marriage) to minister to people in their place of need (i.e., lack of Biblical community, relational disconnection, and marriage) while casting a vision for a holistic, transformational disciple-making journey.

LSN Speaking and Live Seminars

Starting your Omega Experience with a live sermon or seminar experience from a LSN staff member is a great way to begin and inspire your congregation.

Step 2

Assess and Plan

Assess where you are as a church and put together a customized plan for transforming your congregation.

Leading the Omega Experience Conference

This one-day experiential conference builds on the Intro to the Omega Experience Seminar and equips your leadership team to understand how to facilitate the Omega Experience in your own context and put together a customized implementation plan.

Step 3

Implement your Plan

Implement your plan using the various church-wide campaigns, seminars, courses, life groups, ministry teams and mentoring relationships until it becomes part of the new normal of your congregational life together. Take your leaders through this journey first, establish a new normal and then expand it to others.
