Helping churches form bold, healthy leaders.
At FORMED Leadership Group, we help pastors and church teams rediscover the power of spiritual alignment and strategic clarity. Whether you lead a small rural church or a growing congregation, our coaching systems and tools are designed to help you grow from the inside out.
From in-person intensives to self-guided leadership kits, every tool is built on the 3H Model™, cultivating the heart, sharpening the head, and empowering the hands of leaders.
If you're ready to strengthen your culture, align your team, and lead with authenticity, you're in the right place.
Default Leadership Is Costing You More Than You Think
Most churches don’t fail from lack of passion, They fail from lack of formation.
When leadership happens by default instead of by design, the fruit is always the same:
-
Burnout — Leaders with no rhythm of rest or renewal
-
Confusion — Vision that isn’t clear or compelling
-
Pressure — A pastor carrying too much alone
-
Disconnection — Teams serving without alignment or direction
But what if it doesn’t have to be that way?
What if leadership could be intentional, biblical, and transformational?
The 3H™ Model: A Biblical Framework for Leadership Transformation
At FORMED Leadership, we don’t just offer ideas, we’ve built a complete biblical system that forms healthy leaders from the inside out. It’s called the 3H™ Model: Heart, Head, and Hands.
Not just a concept — a system.
Not just a theory — a toolkit for transformation.
The 3H™ Model is the backbone of everything we do at FORMED Leadership.
Built on Deuteronomy 6:5, it develops spiritual alignment, emotional clarity, and strategic effectiveness in every leader.
HEART → The Why You Lead
Focus: Values · Identity · Emotional Health
We begin where most leadership training ends, with the soul. Because unresolved pain, pride, and insecurity can’t be fixed with better systems.
This layer shapes motive, cultivates authenticity, and restores the foundation of spiritual leadership.
HEAD → The How You Think
Focus: Vision · Wisdom · Alignment
Once the heart is aligned, we sharpen the mind.
The Head phase clarifies your strategic direction, strengthens communication, and aligns your team around shared language and purpose.
HANDS → The Way You Lead
Focus: Skills · Structure · Team Dynamics
Leadership isn’t built in theory, it’s lived out in daily behaviors.
This phase equips you to build healthy teams, disciple leaders, and create systems that support long-term growth and sustainability.
The Full 3H™ System Includes:
-
A change alignment diagnostic
-
A 6-week immersive leadership sprint
-
A formation-based consulting approach
-
Ongoing mentorship and coaching options
