Conference
Supporting
Ministry Leaders:
Coaching,
Mentoring,
Spiritual
Direction
And More
Our annual conferences are designed to
help presbytery leaders (staff, committees, volunteers) learn
about the essential best ministry practices at the presbytery
level that promote clergy wellness in a pro-active way rather
than simply responding to crises situations dealing with
ministers.
This
year our focus is to help presbyteries learn about practical
models for supporting pastors in ways that strengthen their
leadership capacities, deepen their spiritual life, and
encourage accountability for effective ministries.
We will also
address the changes that are taking place in the PCUSA and how
ministry leaders will need to adapt to these changes for the
21st century Church.
Leaders
include:
Marcia
Myers-
the Director of the Vocation Agency
of the GAC office of the PC (USA)
Laurie
Ferguson -
the Director of the Auburn Ministry Coaching Institute and a
PCUSA minister.
Joe
Sandifer -the
pastor to pastors in the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta.
Samuel Hamilton-Poore--Assistant
Professor of Christian Spirituality, San Francisco Theological
Seminary
Plan
now to attend the 11th annual conference of the
Presbytery Pastoral Care Network. Maybe you can even build in a
few days of vacation on either side of the conference and
explore the wonders of
San Francisco
.
Whether
you are an individual pastor concerned with how to maintain a
rich, creative balance in your ministry; have a responsibility
for helping prospective members prepare for the ministry; or are
a member of a presbytery committee charged with care of pastors,
plan to attend. This is an opportunity to share with colleagues who
have the same interest and participate in invigorating workshops
that will increase your skills.
So
mark your calendars and prepare to be enriched in ministry.
