  • We Aren’t Broke

    In a season of major change in the church when the familiar ways of funding and doing ministry are declining – we aren’t broke. There are many resources in the church that we can put to work in new ways to serve and engage our neighborhoods and generate new forms of revenue for ministry. Rev. Mark Elsdon will share practical suggestions and stories that build imagination and suggest new ways forward. We will talk about new uses of church buildings and land, social enterprise, and creative ways to put our assets to work in the world for God. Because God is not declining; and we aren’t broke.

  • Leadership and Church Administration: Doing Ministry as a Team

    When a church has a lead/associate pastor team or staff members, how does everyone agree on vision and mission? How much room does each person have to live into ministry? How much direction should a lead/senior pastor give and how much freedom? All, and more, contribute to the “get along factor” – how well lead/senior pastors build relationships with other staff, especially appointed associates.
