Effective leadership isn’t about having the perfect plan—it’s about bringing steadiness, perspective, and clarity to the people you serve. This fall, join the Center for Leadership Excellence and Jack Shitama for a Day of Learning designed to equip clergy and laity with practical ways to cultivate this kind of leadership.
Drawing from family systems theory, Jack helps individuals and teams understand what’s beneath the surface of church tensions—and how to respond in ways that move the whole congregation forward.
You and your team will learn:
- How to recognize the hidden dynamics shaping your congregation’s responses
- Practical tools for guiding people through conflict and uncertainty
- Why focusing on your own presence can inspire healthier leadership in others

Bring your pastor. Bring your laity. Bring anyone who shapes the life of your congregation,* and create the kind of church culture your community needs right now.
*Or come on your own! We love when teams learn together, but all are welcome.
