HOW WE DO IT
FORMATION FOR LEADERS.
HEALTH FOR CHURCHES.
LETTER FROM US
Dear Friend,
We have spent decades leading and building churches, working with teams across a variety of contexts and seasons.
We understand the complexity of leadership—the pressures, the decisions, and the responsibility of leading people well.
We also understand that healthy churches don’t happen by accident. They are built through intentional leadership, aligned teams, and a clear sense of direction.
FORMED exists to serve leaders and teams in that journey.
Our approach is personal, relational, and grounded in real experience. We don’t stand at a distance—we walk alongside you.
—Mark and Bernie Kelsey
If you are interested in working together, we’d love to hear from you.
This is not a program—this is a partnership.
LEADERSHIP IS NOT JUST ABOUT STRATEGY—IT’S ABOUT FORMATION.
LEADERSHIP COACHING
Sustainable leadership requires more than a moment—it requires ongoing support.
We partner with senior leaders through a monthly coaching relationship, providing a consistent, trusted voice as you lead your church.
> Monthly one-on-one coaching sessions
> Strategic input into key decisions
> Ongoing support for team development
> Guidance through seasons of change and growth
THIS INCLUDES:
> A sounding board
> A voice of clarity
> A partnership in your leadership journey
OUR ROLE; TO WALK ALONGSIDE YOU AS:
FOCUSED INTENSIVES
A focused, in-person 1-3 day holistic, immersive and transformative experience designed to bring clarity, alignment, and momentum to your leadership team.
We work closely with you and your core team to create space for honest reflection, meaningful conversation, and practical direction.
> Clarify vision and direction
> Strengthen alignment within your team
> Identify barriers to health and growth
> Discern what God is saying in this season
> Establish clear, practical next steps
DURING THE INTENSIVE, WE HELP YOU:
> Greater clarity as a leader
> A more aligned and unified team
> A clear pathway forward
THE OUTCOME, YOU LEAVE WITH:
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
We don’t bring a template. We bring a process.
Every church is different, but healthy churches share common foundations. Our approach is simple, intentional, and tailored to your context.
We work best with leaders who are open, reflective, and committed to growth. FORMED is designed for senior leaders and core teams who:
> Want to build a healthy and growing church
> Feel the need for greater clarity or direction
> Recognise misalignment within their team
> Are navigating change or transition
> Are ready to move forward intentionally
TESTIMONIALS
“We had an extraordinary few days with Ps Mark and Bernie Kelsey. Our intensive was an amazing, immersive, super practical and productive time together, expertly facilitated by Mark and Bernie. All of our team are still pumped about it and how it has set our church up for a new season.”
— Tama & Tess
“We were so privileged to have the Kelseys with us for three days. They preached, participated in a panel discussion, led leadership training for our staff and at a church leaders’ meeting, and met one on one with our board and key staff. Their wisdom, experience, and guidance were incredibly valuable and deeply appreciated. We highly recommend them.”
— Alan & Elana
A PERSONAL APPROACH
We intentionally work with a limited number of churches each year to give focused attention, build genuine relationships, and tailor our approach to each context. This is not a program—it is a partnership.

We start with a simple conversation to understand your context, needs, and current season.
-
If it’s the right fit, we design a 1-3 day intensive tailored to your church and leadership team.
-
We spend focused time with your team, working through clarity, alignment, and direction.

From there, we offer ongoing coaching to support you as you lead and build.
