I’m offering 2 areas of focus:

✴️ Church Development & Consulting:

* Confidential Pastoral support and personal development of senior leader.

* Services in vision development (vision and mission statements) and application (creating attainable goals to match vision in increments of 3-month; 1-year; 5-years; and 20-years).

* Help in evaluation of leadership structures and development of “teams” to help facilitate vision.

* More information in detail upon request.

✴️ Men’s One-on-One Coaching:

* Sounding board for biblical wisdom for men.

* Confidential coaching for men to share personal life experiences and support in decision making-processes.

* This can be for men in business, ministry, or for anyone in any season of life.

Cost & Packages:

We as a ministry want to make sure Coaching services are available to everyone who can benefit from them. In light of that, pricing is on a sliding scale basis. We don't want financial difficulty to deter anyone from support that I can offer. If you are interested contact me, let’s talk! (you can e-mail me at james.krechnyak@gmail.com)

😁 🥳 WE ARE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS DISCIPLESHIP & CHURCH PLANTING COURSE!!! 🤗 🤩

Having run our “What is Church?” three times and seeing the amazing fruit from it, we put together a further 3-hour course on “Spiritual Mom’s and Dad’s,” addressing more in depth the practical aspects of being a discipler!

I (James) have also been working on releasing a book that has a focus on laying foundations in basic theology and discipleship to help develop spiritual maturity. It is designed to be used in 3 possible ways: for individuals, in discipling someone one-on-one, or as a tool to be used in a small group setting (it has discussion questions and applications).

Taking the two courses (“What is Church?” and “Spiritual Mom’s and Dad’s”), the book, and some of the other supplementary materials we have put together that are on our resource website to beef up some of the teaching already there, we feel in 8 sessions (50 minutes each), we could give someone a solid Biblical foundation and practical wisdom to help them launch a House Church or Micro Church!  

This could be done over a weekend, once a week, in a ministry school setting, or really, in any number of different settings! 🤩

You may be the pastor of a Community Church or Mega Church and think this course does not apply to you, BUT this course goes beyond just House Churches and Micro Churches, diving into the New Testament model of Church and the KEY ROLE discipleship plays in the fulfillment of the Great Commission! Having started two Churches myself, one of those being a Community Church and the other a House Church, in both cases, we devoted ourselves towards developing mature believers who would be able to disciple others! You may even consider House Churches & Micro Churches as part of your expansion!

We are also excited, because this is taught in a way that makes sense and makes Discipleship and House Churches accessible to “normal” mature Christian who can take these principles into their homes, a local coffee shop, community center, and into the marketplace and see the Kingdom of God expand!

This course is an invitation to go deeper and we want to help resource YOU!

What is Church? Course Online!! At Your Pace!!

We are super excited about this next step! We are in the process of running the “What is Church?” Course for a third time! The first two took place simultaneously, one in Europe and one in the United States! After completion, and with further interest from friends around the United States, we decided to open our home and do an “in person” course, while doing it online as well! This week will be our last week, and we can already see how we have all grown (including ourselves) in our revelation of God’s heart for church!

We just keep being amazed at the quality of people that God brings who are on a journey of discovery, and how God is using this course to help them process and make steps into discipleship and what God has for them next in life and ministry! He just keeps bringing people along our path!

We still have people who could not connect to do the course with their schedule, but interested—so we are super excited that the course in now available to do online at people’s own pace!!!! We also have a website of resources to help people along in the journey and assist people in the journey of “application” afterwards—check out our resource website: www.grassrootskeepingitsimple.com.

God is Opening Doors - Update!!

This powerful new move of God is spreading like wildfire, and there is an incredible need for laborers! In our existing churches, many do not have the capacity for the harvest coming in. The harvest needs to be disciples. We feel there is an incredible need in this hour for Jesus-centered, discipleship communities that are easily started and simplistic in their approach to multiplication. 

Our primary investment is in helping prepare disciple makers, through training, mentoring, and by supporting a new wave of church planters that may not fit the stereotypical model of church leader— house and micro churches. We believe these churches fit very well into the spiritual and relational context of our culture that people are longing for, particularly Gen Z and the up-and-coming Gen Alpha!

In response to the urgency of the hour, we are launching several initiatives! Those include a new training course, 14,000 Feet Pastoral Fellowship, and Grassroots Network as a house church & micro church launch pad, and for ongoing support! Yes! We are in the early stages. A lot of what we are doing currently is connecting with like-hearted people by providing training opportunities, counsel, and then being a support to those who feel it in their hearts to step out and plant a house or micro church. It’s Simple Church. It’s not overly complicated or overwhelming. It’s taking the simple early church as our example. Here’s the thing, though—- Our hearts desire to commit ourselves to this mission FREE of charge! And for this, we need your help. 

The simple early church model isn’t working off big budgets, especially in the development stages. While leaders will likely work bi-vocational, there is a tremendous need for an infrastructure to help develop, encourage, and support this new wave of simple church planters and churches. 

We can see down the road that this kind of ministry will spin off in other directions, such as ministering to leaders already in the field who are worn out and weary. Also, discipleship courses, and perhaps schools, but for now, we want to focus on this aspect of the ministry for Grassroots International Ministries. 

We have recently concluded two online 5-week courses titled "What Is Church?"—one in Europe and the other in the United States. A couple in Dublin, Ireland, found that the timing of this course confirmed their decision, and they felt encouraged by it. They launched a house church alongside their long-standing street ministry the Sunday after the course ended! Others felt inspired to open their homes for hospitality and the breaking of bread, as described in Acts 2:42-47, which was a key passage in the course. Some are motivated to begin one-on-one discipleship. We are thrilled about what God is doing!

Next week, we plan to host another course in the comfort of our living room here in Colorado, while also providing a LIVE online feed. We already have several individuals interested in both attending in person and streaming! Additionally, we recently completed the development of a website to support people at all stages of discipleship, from being a new believer to having resources to disciple others, and even assisting people in starting house and micro churches! We are thrilled about what God is doing and the chance to be part of this outpouring and movement of the Spirit of God that is spreading not only across America but around the world!

We are dedicating the next three months to a fundraising campaign. As we embark on this new chapter of life and ministry, we find ourselves very busy! We are astonished by what God has accomplished in the recent months and by what He has revealed to us about the future! We can already foresee the day when we'll require assistance, but for now, we need to secure our own support for living expenses and for the ministry!

We invite you to prayerfully consider providing financial support, either monthly or as a one-time contribution, to assist us as missionaries in training "Disciple-makers" who can reach the unreached populations of our world. Thank you in advance as we seek the Lord’s guidance during this time!
