Leadership Development for Pastors & Church Teams

Throughout Pastor Richard and Lisa’s ministry journey, they have led through every season of growth and change—learning firsthand the unique challenges that emerge at each new level of leadership. After transitioning out of the Lead Pastor role at Rise Church, they are now dedicating themselves fully to the vision God placed in their hearts.

Through 3rd Culture Leadership, that vision is becoming a reality.

We believe:

  • Every future pastor deserves meaningful, formal leadership development

  • Every current pastor should have access to high-quality coaching and spiritual care

  • Every volunteer and staff team benefits from practical, values-based leadership training

  • Every Christian school leader needs encouragement, wisdom, and support for the journey

And we believe access to these resources should never be limited by financial capacity.
