Today’s pastor is expected to assume myriad leadership responsibilities not anticipated during seminary. In addition to preaching and teaching, pastors are expected to oversee complex budgeting processes, manage personnel, maintain facilities, form strategic and long-range plans for growth and development and promote the church through traditional markets and social networks. By the end of this week, you will have developed critical management skills and nurtured significant professional relationships with other pastors and church leaders. This interactive course will provide opportunities to practice new skills that will increase your capacity and confidence to lead your congregation in the 21st century.

Join with other highly motivated leaders in discovering the essentials of:

  • Finance and accounting
  • Communications and marketing (including the use of social networks)
  • Human resource management
  • Organizational assessment and strategic planning
  • Personal leadership
  • Cultivation of innovation and creativity in organizational life
