The Denominee Process: Reimagining Network & Denominational Leadership

In an era where churches increasingly question the value of traditional associations, network and denominational leaders face unprecedented challenges. The Denominee Process offers a transformative approach to address these challenges head-on. Created by Will Mancini and offered exclusively through RunFree.co, Denominee delivers not only the best visionary planning tools for network leaders today but also holds the keys to reimagine and lead the flourishing networks of the future.

Why Denominee Exists

Today's faith tribe landscape reveals several critical challenges:

  • Churches perceive diminishing value in their associations and networks
  • Newer churches are overlooking denominations
  • Leading churches rarely serve as key collaborators in denominational life
  • Traditional structures and programs struggle to deliver meaningful results
  • Revitalization and multiplication statistics remain underwhelming
As Alvin Toffler wisely noted, "The illiterate of the future are not those who cannot read or write. They are those who cannot learn, unlearn, and RELEARN."

Our Purpose

The Denominee Process exists to increase the value of network leaders to the local church by reimagining synergy. This isn't merely another planning process—it's a paradigm-shifting journey that helps leaders reinvent how they deliver value to local churches.

What Makes Denominee Different?

Unlike traditional consulting approaches, Denominee:

  • Functions as a paradigm process before a planning one
  • Introduces new assumptions and ideas focused on reinvention
  • Creates customized solutions based on regional uniqueness
  • Implements a proprietary "NextStepOS" operating system
  • Develops new vocabulary for future network leaders

What Leaders Are Saying

For High-Capacity Strategic Leaders

"Denominee helps the high-capacity leader to unpack responsibilities and decide what really must be done. Help clarify roles in the association so that others can take ownership of what happens."
— Craig Tuck, Association Leader

For Associations in Transition

"Denominee helped our association accelerate through the reorganizing process and carved off three to five years of our organizational restructuring."
— Jeff Knight, New Association Mission Strategist

For Pastoral-Focused Leaders

"Denominee communicates a Biblical Perspective that is Servant oriented to Different Contexts and Could Communicate easily to pastors and staff. Regardless of where someone is at on the team (AMS, Pastor, Staff), they can come away from Denominee with solutions to help you be stronger in their context."
— Mark Snowden, Association Leader

For Unique Association Contexts

"Denominee doesn't try and fit our unique association into a box. It provides concepts, principles, and tools to help the association distill its uniqueness. It's not a program but a process that guides us into a future that we can do."
— Phil Young, Association Leader
