Practical ministry training to strengthen your church.
Invite Lon Dean to speak at your Sunday services, train your leadership team, or lead a weekend seminar on spiritual freedom and church health.
Real experience from the trenches of pastoral ministry.
Lon Dean has spent decades in active pastoral leadership, including fifteen years revitalizing a declining rural congregation into a healthy, thriving church family (House of Praise, near Albany, NY).
He doesn’t teach abstract leadership theories. His messages and workshops are grounded, direct, and filled with practical steps that leaders, volunteers, and congregants can immediately put into practice. In addition to his local church ministry, Lon has taught across three continents, equipping pastors and leading freedom seminars worldwide.
Primary Speaking & Training Focus Areas
- 1
Church Health & Leadership Culture
The Problem: Church calendars get packed with inward-facing activity while community outreach stalls and key leaders carry too much weight.
The Training: How to spot the early warning signs of decline, shift your church culture toward Great Commission vitality, and develop volunteers into dependable ministry leaders.
Format: Leadership retreats, elder/board sessions, or church-wide seminars.
- 2
Biblical Freedom & Deliverance
The Problem: Many believers love Jesus but remain bound by past trauma, generational habits, or spiritual oppression.
The Training: Grounded in Scripture and drawn from Lon's Setting the Captives Free international seminars, this session demystifies spiritual warfare and trains your leaders to minister freedom in a safe, biblical, and orderly way.
Format: Weekend conference, Friday/Saturday seminar, or specialized ministry team workshop.
- 3
Discipleship & Assimilation Systems (Book Implementation)
The Problem: Guests visit, but few stick. New converts slip through the cracks before getting plugged into community.
The Training: A clear, step-by-step look at how guests evaluate your church, simple changes to make your environment welcoming, and practical systems to turn first-time visitors into active, serving disciples.
Format: Sunday morning message, volunteer workshop, or staff training session.
