Ministry would be easy if it weren't for the people: a workshop for Christian leaders
Pastors feel confident in ministry, but many struggle in their interaction with others.
A recent Barna study* found that while pastors continue to be capable spiritual leaders in many aspects, the ability to relate with members of their congregation is becoming increasingly difficult. Most have a firm grasp on theological teaching, but still experience an emotional disconnect with others.
Register HereIn order to serve as an educational resource, Malone University – Office of Spiritual Formation & Arrants-McSwain is offering a one-day workshop on Friday, January 18 from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Randall Campus Center that helps leaders address two issues related to this disconnect:
- How to understand and relate to the people of your congregation.
- How to develop spiritual formation practices that relate to your own and your congregation’s particular needs.
By the end of the day, pastors and other ministry leaders will understand how their own minds are wired and have tangible ways to relate spiritual formation to the people of their congregations.
