Upcoming Gatherings

Gathering leaders in clergy and congregational well-being.

Effective Governance

Governance is a community-based process that drives decisions and shapes both organizations and communities. Governance plays a key role in the health and well-being of congregational systems and those who lead them.

Join One Hope International’s David Branker and Seeds of Hope Counseling’s Lindsay Geist for an interactive gathering discussing effective governance. What do we know about the roles, expectations and needs of governance from existing research and practice? How can we support good governance within congregations?

Toxic Congregations | Forced Termination

Forced termination of clergy can lead to devastating consequences for clergy, their families, and their congregations. What do we know about forced termination of clergy and the toxic congregations they serve from existing research and practice? How can we support clergy, their families, and the congregations who have experienced forced termination?

Join Biola University's Chris Adams and Asbury Theological Seminary's Tammy Cessna for an interactive gathering. What do we know about clergy coaching from existing research and practice? How can we effectively support clergy coaching in ways that lead to flourishing?
