1. HOW DO YOU LEAD YOUR PEOPLE TO SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT, FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE?
2. CHANGE FLOWS
OUT OF THE HEART.
Hi, we’re Wellspring Group.
Above all else guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
Proverbs 4:23
We know that as a church leader you’re concerned about the discipleship of the people
God has entrusted to you. You long to see them grow, change and become vibrant con-
tributors to the Kingdom. How do you carry out such a crucial task?
Because everything we do comes from the heart, Wellspring Group focuses on develop-
ing whole hearted people—who know the heart of God and their own hearts, and are
equipped to engage others. We provide tracks for your discipleship and leader develop-
ment to run on. Our process is practical, reproducible and will affect every aspect of the
lives of your people.
Take a look at what Wellspring Group can offer you, your leaders and your church.
We would love to partner with you.
Living out of a whole heart affects
every area of life. Often we focus
on specific arenas like finances,
marriage or work to see change. At
Wellspring, we believe that when the
heart is changed, these areas of life
are changed organically.

ing sessions, facilitated team
discussions, and personal
reflection times introducing
you to the framework for
fighting for your heart
TEAM FOLLOW THROUGH

with your team into know-
ing how to win the daily bat-
tle for your heart through
reflections in scripture and
weekly team meetings
BATTLE FOR YOUR DOMAIN
An intensive experience
in authentic community,
equipping you with the skills
of fighting for the hearts of
your team and those in your
sphere of influence
TEAM FOLLOW THROUGH
Personal reflections and weekly
team meetings focus on over-
coming obstacles that keep you
from winning the battle for
your heart and playing your
part in God’s larger story
Transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we link
arms and do battle together. That’s why the Battle for the Heart process is
built to be experienced in teams. Together, participants join the fight for a
deeply personal understanding of God and His incredible love and grace.
Community is not the end result: it’s the pathway to significant, sustainable,
fundamental change. True grace in community brings freedom—freedom
to take off masks, face our brokenness and take risks with one another. In
community, the power of the Gospel penetrates our hearts and overflows
into every area of our lives: family, friendships, work and church.

4. OAK MOUNTAIN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHPARTNERING WITH PASTORS TO BUILD WHOLE HEARTED CHURCHES
LEADING FROM WHOLENESS
Because real change in a church starts with leaders, we come
alongside leaders to help them discover their whole hearts, their
part in God’s Story, and their true identities in Christ.
LEADING FROM THE HEART
As men and women live out of their own hearts in the context of
authentic community, they are able to lead in a way that is ener-
gizing, not draining.
LEADING WITH DEPTH
The Battle for the Heart facilitates connecting at a deeper
relational level, empowering leaders to “love one another deeply:
mourn with those who mourn, rejoice with those who rejoice,
and spur one another on to love and good deeds.”
LEADING WITH COMMUNITY
Living in authentic community frees men and women to lead in
the safety and security of who they are becoming in Christ.
CULTIVATING CHANGE THROUGH LEADERSHIP The Unfolding Story of
In partnership with Wellspring Group,
Oak Mountain is beginning to witness
the congregational change they have
longed to see for over 25 years. Men
and women are experiencing the love
and validation of God that is freeing
them to become who they were
created to be.
The impact of this individual change
is in turn influencing the church
community as a whole. There has been
a shift in the way that their leaders
preach, teach and manage teams.
LIFE Groups, marriages, and families
are experiencing deeper connections.
Ministry teams are handling
challenges effectively. Leaders are multiplying
as they pass their new knowledge and skills to
incoming team members.
The ripple effect has even impacted the greater
Birmingham community, as men and women
go to their workplaces and connect with their
employees and coworkers on a heart level and
reveal the gospel naturally and with integrity.
