LIFTING LEADERS' VITALITY in the PACIFIC

Ministry leadership is extremely rewarding and fulfilling, but it can be demanding and overwhelming. Leaders are overwhelmed, tired and alone — on the way to burnout.

Amidst the growing crisis, Verve Lead brings a unique solution—one that builds resilience, sustainability, and longevity.

Our professional supervisors can measure leaders' health and uplift leaders' vitality, providing a transformative approach for denominations seeking support in fostering thriving faith journeys.

Ministry is in Crisis

Some of the many symptoms of this crisis are:

Leaders Quitting

Churches Closing

Investigations Increasing

High Stress

Increased Workload

Tarnished Reputations

Declining Attendance

Declining Revenue

Momentum Loss

God's Mission Disrupted

Discipline Slip

Performance Slip

We need supervision - Kaitiakitanga (to care, guide, learn, influence, encourage and protect)

Supervision is a safe, confidential and reflective process that asks “How are you doing?”

It explores the challenges and issues commonly faced and helps you discover the skills to navigate those demands.

It is a space for your support and enhancement of your personal wellbeing, and to build your competency and resilience, so that you “stay the course” and thrive to reach your fullest potential.  

Consider the following:

What is the tangible benefit of supervision?

What will happen if you leave things as they are?

What could happen if you and your team was professionally supported?

RECOMMENDATION 96
"All faith-based entities should ensure that all people in religious or pastoral ministry, including religious leaders, have professional supervision with a trained professional or pastoral supervisor who has a degree of independence from the institution within which the person is in ministry."

“t took me 17 years of pastoring before I truly recognised the vital role of supervision. Now, I can't imagine ministry without it. The insights and guidance from Verve Lead have brought tangible growth in both my personal life and overall well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone involved in church ministry.” - Peter Morton, Senior Pastor, The River Christian Church, Auckland

“…through what has been a very challenging year for me, having this level of support has been of huge benefit and comfort. The ability to talk through things, get insight, support, wisdom, sometimes just being listened to is a great help. I like that there is a place for me to talk about how things are affecting me.” G.M. Senior Pastor -Whitianga

“Professional supervision has been the  most valuable addition to us personally and professionally. It has led to a personal cultural shift to self-care and well-being of our family” M. Mc. Senior Pastor - Pukekohe

“The Pastoral care Support that has provided for myself over the last few years has been invaluable.  I can honestly say that I would not be continuing my pastoral ministry if….was not by my side… I look forward to continuing this relationship into the future, and allowing it to mould and shape me to be a better pastor, leader, husband, father.” Senior Pastor – Hawkes Bay
