Building the Team Around You

 
Mark Beeson and the Granger Community Church Senior Leadership Team
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Edenton Street UMC, Raleigh

A full-day experience, designed to help you strengthen your existing team or build a new team around you. Senior Pastor Mark Beeson and his leadership team from Granger Community Church (Indiana) will focus on a diverse program of workshops and breakout sessions designed to help you lead an influential team, understand church culture, dealing with challenges in church growth and focusing on effective team communication.

 Granger Community Church, established in 1986, is consistently ranked as one of the top 10 “Most Influential” churches in the country. It is a Methodist congregation of over 6,000 attendees.

“Granger Community Church is the best example of a purpose-driven church in the country. And Mark Beeson is a phenomenal communicator and leader”.

                        –Dr. Rick Warren, author The Purpose-Driven Life

“I believe Granger Community Church has one of the best pastors in America. Mark Beeson is a tremendous teacher”.

–Dr. John Maxwell, cutting-edge entrepreneur, best-selling author and dynamic speaker

 Mark Beeson is extraordinary visionary, gifted communicator and committed to Christ. In 1986, Mark and his wife, Sheila, planted the seeds of Granger Community Church in their living room, with fewer than ten people. Their dream was to reach out to those who were not currently attending church for whatever reason, and share the truth that they mattered to God. And though it began without fanfare, GCC flourished at a phenomenal rate.

Also joining Mark are: Tim Stevens Executive Pastor, Kem Meyer, Director of Communications and Mark Waltz, Director of First Impressions, all of Granger Community Church.

Managing Conflict

Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Haymount UMC, Fayetteville
Russ Moxley, Consultant

This day of learning will address the often avoided topic of conflict. Effective servant leaders see conflict not as an enemy but as a friend. Conflict promotes openness, honesty, communication and community. The critical issue is how we handle conflict. Leading change and encouraging innovation is often born out of creative conflict. In this experience clergy and lay leaders will develop insights and learn the skills needed to manage conflict more effectively.

For nearly 20 years, Russ Moxley was a senior fellow and director of nonprofit initiatives at the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro. Now he designs and delivers leadership development workshops, does executive coaching and consults with organizations.

The registration fee for this event is $50 and you may register by calling 919.208.2169 or emailing lwiebesmith@nccumc.org Registrations will be accepted until September 17.
