California-Pacific Annual Conference Training
The
Conference Board of Congregational Development is launching out
in a new direction in hopes of providing quality training
for clergy engaged in or interested in new church start
and/or church revitalization ministries. The Board
will accomplish this with a variety of training opportunities.
First is our own Cal-Pac Academies.
In this training we bring national church developers to Southern
California for intense two-day seminars. Although the Academies
are stand alone training events they should be combined for best
benefits. (see below). Academies are
open to all Cal-Pac clergy (and laity if the training is laity
specific) The second training available is the
Cal-Pac New Start and Revitalization
Institute. The Institute seeks to identify and train
Cal-Pac clergy for the challenging task of new church starts
and/or revitalizations. More information
and an application are further down this page.
Cal-Pac
Conference Sponsored Academies
The Board of Congregational Development continues their emphasis of bringing nationally known church
developers to our Conference in order to provide the best
training at very affordable prices. The goal of these two day
academy events is to provide special training for our clergy and
laity in
the work of planting new congregations, revitalizing current
churches and launching new ministries. It could be said that
every one of our churches is in need of revitalization or the
expertise to launch new ministries reaching new populations. The
Board believes these training events could prove helpful for all
of our church leaders.
Academies are offered in the spring and fall of every year. Rev. Brian Parcel
is the coordinator for the Academy Training events. Reach him at (revbtparcel@aol.com)
