The most effective outreach ministries are grounded in relationship. But how do we engage in outreach in our communities if we don’t know our neighbors?
The Center for Leadership Excellence presents a Day of Learning (plus three follow up Zoom conversations) with Daynette Snead Perez. Join us and learn practical steps for reaching beyond your comfort zone to form genuine relationships with people in your community.
Stranger to Neighbor
Presented by the Center for Leadership Excellence
with Race Equity & Justice Ministries
and Daynette Snead Perez
Tuesday, September 19, 2023, 9:30am – 3pm ET
NC Conference Building (Garner, NC)
$40 (includes lunch, a book, and 3 follow-up Zoom sessions)
Note: Capacity for this event is limited to 30 participants. As such, we ask that churches/groups send no more than 3 people. A small group who attends the Day of Learning together could then bring back their learning and use activities from the book to share in their congregation.
About this Day of Learning:
The Stranger to Neighbor Day of Learning offers church leaders new ways to foster awareness, knowledge, and skills for diverse and inclusive ministry outreach and growth.
During this full-day intensive, participants journey for ten badges and arrive at their final destination as more fully formed and inclusive disciples in life and ministry. This gospel-centered workshop is based on Dr. Daynette’s book, CHURCH: What To Do When Everyone Is Like You, a best-selling new release for Christian church growth.
All registrants will receive a copy of this book in the mail to review in advance of our time together. In addition, after the initial Stranger to Neighbor Ministry™ Event, participants are encouraged to participate in three Group Coaching Sessions via Zoom 30 / 60 / 90 days after the sessions. The specific dates will be determined by the end of the event.
