But how do you actually design it within the requirements of the&nbsp;<em>United Methodist Book of Discipline?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this practical webinar, Blake will walk through the nuts and bolts of designing a simplified accountable leadership structure that is both faithful to the Book of Discipline and flexible enough to fit your congregation\u2019s unique context. Participants will explore key denominational non-negotiables, common challenges, right-sizing options, and proven best practices to design a Leadership Board that functions with clarity, accountability, and a missional focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev. Dr. Blake Bradford is co-author of&nbsp;<em>Mission Possible: Simplifying Church Leadership (4th Edition)<\/em>&nbsp;and recently completed nearly a decade of service as a district superintendent and conference staff member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clergyeducation.com\/events\/2607bradford\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register Now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div
