The North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church is hosting virtual trainings on January 29, 2023, for all who serve in their local congregation in any of the following roles and committees (and note the new training this year for Nominations!):
- Lay Leader
- Staff/Pastor Parish Relations
- Nominations
- Finance
- Trustees
Help us spread the word! It is helpful when all committee members attend the trainings, but we are sending this invitation only to pastors, lay leaders, and committee chairs. If you serve as the chair of one of these committees, please forward this invite to those who serve alongside you and invite them to join you for the training. Any other church members interested in learning about one or more these roles are also welcome to register. Thank you for helping us spread the word!
Conference-Wide Leadership Training
Sunday, January 29, 2023
2-3:30pm and 4-5:30pm
About the Workshops:
These workshops are designed to help you understand committee responsibilities and the expectations for church leadership roles in each respective area. Since the workshops are spread across two sessions, you have the option to attend up to two sessions live. If you need more than one training offered during the same session, choose one session to attend live and you can watch the recording of the other session(s).
Session 1, 2-3:30pm
- Lay Leader, led by John Hall
- S/PPRC, led by Jon Strother
- Nominations, led by Paul Lee
Session 2, 4-5:30pm
- Finance, led by Christine Dodson
- Trustees, led by Gray Southern
Whether you are starting a new leadership role, or have been serving in church leadership for years, we hope this model of leadership training will prepare you for your much-needed ministry.
Who Can Register?
Anyone! We send invitations to the Lay Leader and the chair of each committee: Finance, Trustees, Nominations, and S/PPRC. However, we heartily recommend that all committee members attend the training. It is helpful when all committee members receive the same instruction. In addition, anyone who wants to learn more about how these committees work is more than welcome to join.
