Strong pastoral identity is the key to sustaining pastoral excellence and being effective leaders in the church.
In this seminar, we will:

- Integrate this theological understanding of pastoral ministry with the basic practices of congregational leadership.
- Review case studies on leadership issues and gain tools for effective leadership, using William Willimon’s book Pastor: The Theology and Practice of Ordained Ministry, and Herrington, Creech & Taylor’s The Leader’s Journey: Accepting the Call to Personal and Congregational Transformation.
The seminar will be led by Rev. Duane Kelderman and Rev. Kathy Smith.
