MasterClass: Innovative Strategies for Coaching Your Congregation Through Change
$ 79.99
Thriving congregations anticipate and adapt to changing ministry landscapes. Church leaders must help their members and ministry partners understand the rationale for change, create a sense of urgency, and walk alongside leaders and members as they navigate new ways of being and doing church. This course will focus on how to build a guiding coalition that will increase awareness of the church’s opportunities, strengths, and challenges, clarity about the need for change and how the transformation process will unfold, and agency among members.
This course will help participants unleash a culture of creativity and spark a continuous cycle of reinvention that includes: listening deeply to God and others, observing what is and isn’t working in ministry, and what’s present and what’s missing, experimenting with new ways of being the church, and then reflecting on recent results and refocusing efforts based on new learnings.
You’ll get a better understanding of the change process and how to lead in disruptive times.
