Today’s congregations struggle to involve their members and engage their neighborhoods. How do you inspire your congregation to try new things and reach new people?

SESSIONS
Sept 16 – Master Class 1: Visioncasting for Transformation: Exploring Real Stories of Congregational Renewal (w/ Shannon Kiser & Tod Bolsinger)
Do you struggle to help your church get excited about making changes?
Transforming a local congregation requires more than just a dream of the future, a hope that the congregation will get on board, and a desire to have an impact in the community.
This Master Class is not just another presentation. You will hear three stories, case studies from real congregations who experienced renewal when began to start Fresh Expressions of Church.
Not only will you hear their stories, but you’ll have the opportunity to hear from leadership coaches Shannon Kiser and Tod Bolsinger about why these changes took root.
Oct 13 – Master Class 2: The Peril, Promise and To-Dos that Come With the Digital Age (w/ Jon Davis, Verlon Fosner & Cheryl McCarthy)
Do you want a life, and a church, that is closely and actively following God’s voice? You will have to learn to first listen to God and others, and then intercede.
In this Master Class you will explore how timeless traditions of Christian liturgy intersect with the personal work of intercession to create a movement for prayer. If you want to see your congregation develop an ear for listening to God and a habit of praying for their neighbors, this is the place to start.
