About Me

  • Although my official title is executive pastor at Granger Community Church--my role is all about finding high capacity people with great hearts and getting them the resources they need so together we can help people meet Jesus. I really believe I lead the greatest staff on the planet, and my joy is in helping them hit the ball out of the park. In my spare time, I get the privilege of writing books and teaching workshops to help leaders of other churches learn from our mistakes and successes.

    Coming Soon...To a Location Near You

    I'm not much of an extrovert, but I really would enjoy meeting you this year. Here are some of the places I'll be teaching in 2008.

    • May 22 - The WhiteBoard Sessions - Reston, VA -- This one will be fun. I get 30 minutes to communicate one big idea, plus I get to hang with Ben Arment.
    • May 30 -- Simply Strategic Volunteers - Granger, IN -- if you are looking for help on finding, training, leading or caring for volunteers, this all-day workshop is for you.
    • June 12 -- ARISE: Willow Creek Arts Conference - South Barrington, IL -- I'm teaching a "featured breakout" at the conference this year. Not sure what "featured" means, but I'm looking forward to talking about Pop Goes the Church.
    • June 23 -- Pop Goes the Church -- Granger, IN -- an all-day workshop for those who want to drill-down on what it means to engage the culture as a local church.
    • August 14-16 -- Echo Conference -- Dallas, TX -- this is a brand new conference that I get the opportunity to speak at with a bunch of cool speakers including Donald Miller, Mark Batterson and Mark Steele.
    • September 18-19 -- Innovate 2008 -- Granger, IN -- of course I'm biased, but I think this is "the" premiere conference for church leaders.
    • October 8 -- Catalyst Conference -- Duluth, GA -- I've attended many times, but this is the first year I get to participate. I'll be teaching a Catalyst Lab along with Perry Noble, John Burke, Joel Hunter, Dave Ferguson and others.
    • November 5-7 -- National Outreach Convention -- San Diego, CA -- We're still working out the details, but it looks like I'll be teaching a breakout session during this popular west coast conference.

    I guess you don't really feel like coming to the north east, huh?

    Whatever, Tim – I'll wait for Innovate!
    ;-)

    It looks like I'll be at 4 or 5 of those ... I hope you've got 5 distinct talks worked out!

    Scott -- dude, you are likely to be disappointed by talk #4 or #5! Either that, or you'll have my shtick memorized, and if I get sick you can stand up and deliver it :).

    Seriously, I'm not sure what I'm doing at each talk yet--but I'll try to shake it up a little to keep you wondering.

    Look forward to meeting you at WiBo!

    My brother James McLean will be at the Whiteboard in VA. And I'll be at NOC in SD. Looking forward to it!
