The Third Way
Pastors and Ministers Collective

Multiply Your Call. Lead With Legacy.

For Pastors and Ministers Ready to Lead Beyond Traditional Boundaries

Pastors, ministers, and spiritual leaders often find themselves trained for pulpits but unprepared for the broader cultural and leadership demands of their calling. The Third Way Pastors and Ministers Collective is designed for leaders committed to a Third Way impact—a model of ministry that integrates spiritual depth with cultural intelligence and organizational excellence.

What Does It Actually Look Like to Do Ministry The King's Way?

It means continuing the mission of Jesus using the methods of Jesus. It’s about transformation at every level: growing personally, refining your preaching, and reimagining your programs.

The Third Way is moving from inspirational and educational preaching and teaching to transformational preaching and teaching. It’s letting the Third Way philosophy permeate everything you do as a church or ministry, from how you lead, to how you disciple, to how you engage your community.

The Three Pillars of
the Third Way Collective

Theological Depth

Formation requires nourishment. You cannot form people with what you have not first fed them. This collective exists to cultivate leaders with theological clarity, biblical fluency, and a robust understanding of Christian orthodoxy. We are committed to producing pastors who can not only preach the gospel, but also defend it, apply it, and embody it in a complex world. Shallow teaching does not create rooted disciples. Depth is not optional; it is essential.

Cultural Intelligence

We must be able to exegete both Scripture and society. Faithful leadership requires discernment about the forces shaping the human soul. Culture is catechizing people daily. Leaders must be equipped to recognize cultural currents, decode their messages, and respond with wisdom, courage, and compassion. This pillar empowers pastors to engage culture as missionaries, not critics; shepherds, not spectators.

Organizational Excellence

The mission is eternal, but ministry requires execution. Healthy churches do not happen accidentally; they are built prayerfully and led skillfully. Organizational excellence is not secular, it is stewardship. This pillar equips leaders to build systems that support spiritual formation, steward people and resources wisely, and lead teams with clarity, accountability, and grace. Excellence is a form of worship, and stewardship is spiritual maturity.

This Is NOT Your
Typical Church Growth Program

There are three ways to approach ministry and leadership:

1st Way

Culture's Way

The Way of The World

A ministry shaped by the winds of culture rather than the Word of Christ.

2nd Way

Church's Way

The Way Of Religion
It’s a ministry shaped by religious nostalgia, current church trends, and human hubris that leads to disciples of that movement but not disciples of the master.

3rd Way

The King's Way

The Way of The Rabbi
A ministry organized around the priority of helping as many people as possible experience the person, practices, principles, and power of Jesus.

The Third Way Collective is not about numerical growth or following the latest ministry trends. This is for leaders who want to build healthier churches and healthier ministries—not culture’s way, not church’s way, but the King’s way, the Third Way.

Mission and
Vision

It is a relational and resourcing network for pastors and leaders committed to building healthier churches by building healthier Christians. This community exists for those who believe the church is not merely a gathering space for decisions, but a formation space for disciples. It insists that the mission of Jesus must be pursued through the methods of Jesus: relational discipleship, spiritual formation, Spirit-empowered leadership, and life-on-life apprenticeship. This way rejects false dichotomies and shallow categories that dominate contemporary Christianity. The Third Way is a both-and commitment:
