Consultation to Clergy Transition Seminars
On the winding path of ministry there can be twists and turns--with forks in the road that call for discernment and possible transition. We are here to support you on your unfolding vocational journey.
Crossroads and Runway 'R' Seminars are specifically designed to help church professionals redefine their vision and effectively navigate the transition that may be just around the bend.
- Crossroads Seminar
For some the potential transition might simply be considering a similar call to a different setting. Or, it could be a recommitment to your present call--but with some changes in your style or approach. For others, the transition could be to a different kind of ministry that may provide a better "fit" for your gifts or interests. And for some, the next chapter may be one of bi-vocational work or even wrestling with the decision to "re-career" and take a different path altogether.
