What practices correlate with increased generosity? This seminar engages the full package from clarity of mission/vision through financial giving programs. It connects spiritual formation and social justice with the bigger picture of congregational development. Discover resources for planning a year-round stewardship strategy for your context.

How can we notice signs of new life and purpose in the face of diminishing energy and fewer members in our churches and ministry settings? By looking at some practical questions, we will explore how to better equip faith communities to read the context in which we find ourselves and how to equip leaders to go where the Spirit calls. Change, Consensus, Governance and Decisions-making are some of the themes we will explore during this workshop.

In this workshop we'll Go Deep and discover ways to nurture the spiritual lives of ourselves as leaders. We'll also identify spiritual practices to help youth go deeper in their own relationships with God and others.
