ABOUT US Next Step Ministries Inc. is dedicated to bringing hope and renewed vitality to churches of all sizes. A major focus is to partner with and provide resources for churches that could not financially pay for quality coaching and consulting but have a strong desire to take the Next Step in reaching their community for Christ. Current statistics reveal that 85% of churches are plateaued or declining. Pastors are leaving the ministry discouraged at a record pace. The pastor’s home is the focus of targeted attack from the enemy. These statistics are unacceptable to Michael and Pennie Wiles.  God has called them into a ministry of support; to partner with pastors and churches to help Healthy Pastors lead Healthy Churches full of Healthy Families reach a Hurting World. Next Step Ministries Inc. seeks to accomplish this through many segments of ministry. The Next Step Leadership Training provides an opportunity for church leaders to strengthen their leadership skills, improve teamwork, identify current demographic data and catch a renewed ministry vision. Each participant utilizes cutting-edge assessment tools to help them improve their personal ministry effectiveness.

Then learn to do it so well the people are happy to pay you for it.' " "That's the way to live. Don't worry about what you're going to get paid and what kind of benefits there are; do something you love to do and do it so well that after a while you'll be paid to do it. If it's something you are capable of doing, and if you seek answers to the five questions I have given, you'll be on your way to doing just that."     SEMINAR/TRAINING  View a description of our current seminar and training event elements. .  The Thrive Next Step process takes cohort groups of churches through the process of positive change.  Each participating church will discover: Their Current Normal Who they are called to BE The Path to Change Click on Thrive Plan to discover the details of the Thrive Next Step plan.
