Congregational Development
The Office of Congregational Development seeks to help and empower clergy and lay leaders discover innovative ways to revitalize their congregation and impact their community. The emphasis for 2023 is "New People, New Ways" as we seek to identify leaders who are ready to plant new expressions of church in the local area in new ways.
If you think you might be ready to join us in reaching new people in new ways, here is what we are looking for:
- Laity or clergy- experience and training isn't required!
- Willing to receive training and support as you move through the discernment/planting process
- Desire to grow God's kingdom and share the Gospel
- Eagerness to go where people are, not just invite people to come to you
- Openness to new forms and expressions of church, not limited by traditional models and methods
- Prefer relationships over systems
- Adapts to change well, enjoys flexibility
- Willing to take risks
