Church Leadership Resource Group: Self-Differentiated Leadership

Online Event NY

Our Church Leadership Resource Group is open to clergy, staff, vestry, volunteers—anyone who leads in the parish! May's meeting will explore the congregational development model "Gather-Transform-Send." The model proposes that the primary task of a Christian congregation can be described this way: "The unique purpose and work of a congregation is to gather those called by God into Christ’s body, the Church—a community of transformation of mind, heart, and action—and to send these same people into the world both to be and to act as God’s loving and transforming presence."
