Tuesday Tune Ups, hosted by the Central District, are designed to equip pastors and ministry leaders with practical, immediately actionable training content. These monthly zoom sessions provide relevant insights, strategies and tools that can be applied across a variety of leadership roles in the local church, including lead pastors, assistant ministers, non-licensed ministry leaders and emerging leaders. Whether you serve in NextGen ministry, womens’ ministry, multiethnic ministry or another area of church leadership, Tuesday Tune Ups offer valuable takeaways to strengthen your leadership and impact. Each session features experienced presenters sharing practical wisdom, followed by interactive discussion and Q&A. Mark your calendars and join us for these enriching conversations!

These calls take place on the third Tuesday of the month at 6pm MT / 7pm CT / and 8pm ET. They are recorded and posted to our resource page.

Tuesday Tune Ups Schedule: March – June 2025

March 18, 2025 – NextGen focus

Topic: Building a Culture of Discipleship in Families and the Local Church

Presenters: Tami Jones and Natalie Werking

Discipleship isn’t just a program—it’s a lifestyle that starts at home and extends into the local church. In this session, we’ll explore practical ways to cultivate a culture of discipleship within families and faith communities. Attendees will learn how to equip parents as disciple-makers, integrate multi-generational mentorship and create church environments that support spiritual growth beyond Sunday services. Whether you’re a pastor, ministry leader or parent, this conversation will provide biblical insights and actionable strategies to foster lifelong faith in the next generation.

April 15th, 2025 – Women in ministry leadership focus

Topic: [Title TBD]

Presenters: Melissa Brotherton + the Women’s Leadership Collective

April’s Tuesday Tune Up will focus on equipping and empowering women in ministry leadership. Join us as we explore key topics related to leadership development, spiritual formation and navigating ministry challenges with confidence. More details + registration coming soon!

June 17th, 2025 – Missions focus

Topic: On Mission Together

Presenters: Peter Henderson and Steve + Kim

Join us for this Tune Up featuring mission workers + leaders Steve and Kim. A mission worker’s assignment is very different from a local church pastor’s, but we’re at our best when we’re together. The strategies and specialized skills that mission workers employ to plant the gospel in new territory can inform the way pastors strengthen and advance the gospel in places where the church has already been established. We can learn from the mission field how to break through barriers at home. More details & registration coming soon!
