SESSIONS
Sept 22 – Session 1:
If you look up the responsibilities for pastors, you will get about as many different descriptions as the sites you go to find the lists. But one of the responsibilities that comes up every time deal with the Vision of the church. Figuring them out, implementing them, and deciding if they need to change. But how do we do that today? How do we know if we need to persevere in the direction we are going vs change it up? This session will help you to figure out that question and to be able to engage in some specific practices that will help you to clarify your vision moving forward. (w/ Jim Pace)
Sept 29 – Session 2:
In these days of sporadic church attendance, communicating a new vision for your congregation is harder than ever. You need methods that will help you communicate beyond a Sunday announcement. In this session, you’ll be interested to tools and techniques for using digital and social media to reinforce your message. (w/ Chris Morton)
Oct 6 – Session 3:
It’s been said that if you think you are leading but nobody is following, then you’re just taking a long walk. Many pastors and church leaders have wonderful ideas that they try to impress on their people, only to become discouraged and find that nobody is behind them. A big part of casting vision is cultivating vision: doing the relational work to develop rapport and trust, as well as discover the elements of vision that God is unearthing within people. In this session, we will unpack practical ways and value of cultivating vision among, with, and for your congregation or organization. (w/ Kris Beckert)
