Scheduled Training Events

What: The purpose of the Congregational Assessment for Vital Ministry is to enhance your ministry and to increase the effectiveness of your congregation’s ministry through deeper, ongoing conversations among clergy, laity, Conference staff, denominational resource persons, and district superintendents.  This assessment includes sections on qualities, skills, and competencies and on planning and goals for the future.  The assessment begins with you.

Why: As a conference, we believe that the Congregational Assessment for Vital Ministry is a new way of looking at the ministries we share. Built upon our past Conference Comprehensive Plan work, we believe this new assessment will further nurture fruitful and prophetic leadership and assist in planting new ministries, which includes revitalizing existing ministries.  We invite you, as clergy and laity to join us as partners in this new endeavor.  Your participation will make a difference in the future of the community of Christ in our communities, our region, and the world.
