Ministry and Management 

Alban at Lake Junaluska

May 3 - 5, 2011

 

Are you trying to get a handle on the business of running a congregation?  Are you trying to approach management tasks in your congregation in theologically sound and spiritually grounded ways?  Then this workshop is for you.  

 

You will leave with  

  • A practical understanding of job descriptions, staff supervision, budgeting, revenue and expense reports, and why your boilers will fail at the least convenient time.  
  • Insight and guidance into the stewardship of resource deployment.  
  • The role of strategic planning and the relationship between planning and execution. 
  • New knowledge and confidence that comes from time spent learning and sharing with and from peers, under the guidance of a seasoned pastoral leader who has learned a lot and is good at sharing it.
