High-Capacity Leaders: These are Nazarene leaders we invite to participate in the High Impact Church Planting Project as a High-Capacity Leader.  These pastors/leaders currently do not have a call to become a High-Capacity Planter but they have high leadership capacity capabilities, they are committed to the Church of the Nazarene and leadership multiplication and they have a burning desire to grow and develop churches that bring great glory to God.  Our High-Capacity Leaders Team is organized into two groups: 1) Large Church Leader Mentors and 2) Large Church Emerging Leaders.

Leader Mentors are individuals who have distinguished themselves with a life-time of outstanding large church service to the Church of the Nazarene and are highly committed to leadership multiplication.  Our Emerging Leaders are a group of leaders who have demonstrated capacity for development.  God has begun to birth within their spirit a vision to grow their current ministry into a large church, potentially one that reaches 1000+ or more in attendance and their vision includes multiplication!  Every person on our team of High-Capacity Leaders are ALL hungry to learn, grow and develop better large church leadership skills.  Participation on the Nazarene High-Capacity Leaders Team is a privilege and there are no guarantees of perpetual inclusion or participation.  Persons may be invited on or off the High-Capacity Leaders Team based on their on-going leadership performance and contribution.
