2021 Reach 1,000 Leadership Institute
 

Plan to participate in the Reach 1,000 Leadership Institute to be held January through July. It will consist of monthly online workshops and coaching groups to equip individuals to reach new people in new ways. Each workshop will be held on a Tuesday morning.
 
Although final plans are still being made, the anticipated themes of the workshops will be:
  • January: Personal Spiritual Growth
  • February: Behavioral Characteristics and Models
  • March: Franchise to Local Dive
  • April: Social Media to Social Ministry
  • May: Intro to Fresh Expressions
  • June:  Navigate from Existing Congregation to FreshEx
  • July: Executing a Plan
 
This is a new approach to the Leadership Institute, so anyone, whether you have previously participated in a Congregational Development Leadership Institute or not, is welcome to apply.
 
Watch for more information, including the application, which will be available soon.
