SLI Networks
Overview
SLI builds networks designed to address the challenges of isolation, distraction, and frustration that leaders often face. These networks foster joy, focus, and healthy connections, enabling leaders to rely on one another to overcome common obstacles in ministry and leadership.
By cultivating principles and processes that encourage organizational health, SLI helps groups of churches and ministries remain focused on God’s mission as they journey together. As Patrick Lencioni asserts, “Once organizational health is properly understood and placed into the right context, it will surpass all other disciplines in business as the greatest opportunity for improvement and competitive advantage.”
Who is it for
SLI Networks are for leaders committed to creating a transformative culture rooted in biblical principles, including replicating the character of Jesus and serving others. Participants may include:
• Pastors leading congregations.
• Marketplace leaders in fields such as education, construction, healthcare, and beyond.
• Specific ministry leaders in worship, hospitality, discipleship, pastoral care, administration, and more.
Outcomes
SLI Networks focus collective energy on an organization’s primary mission. For example, if the mission is to develop disciples, the network will refine the principles and processes that effectively produce disciples. Healthy growth in purpose and mission is a core outcome.
details
SLI Networks are built around a monthly rhythm of connection and annual retreats to:
• Develop relationships.
• Deepen understanding of each leader’s unique context.
• Create space for transformation.
Networks operate at the intersection of Loving, Learning, and Leading and are supported by SLI’s materials, tools, and experience in leading culture change. An SLI Guide will assist new networks with:
• Creating on-ramps for getting started.

• Establishing expectations and a covenant for the network.
Additionally, SLI provides tools such as online collaboration platforms, video conferencing, learning management systems, and administrative support.
