Leadership in Transition Seminars

Our starting point at CCDL is that all congregations, wherever they are situated, are living through a time of social and cultural transition. Through our Leadership In Transition seminars we assist in developing fresh competencies among church leaders to meet the challenge of adapting to the changed times in which we live. We also seek to encourage a shift in our understandings of the task and role of leaders.

Seminars are restricted in size to enable maximum interaction between seminar leaders and participants, and among the participants themselves. Speakers offer insights, tools and perspectives that are focused on the real issues of leadership for congregational life today.

Past seminar leaders have included Anthony B. Robinson (Transforming Congregational Culture & Changing the Conversation), Janet Cawley (Who Is My Church), Patty Evans (Leadership & Authority), Gary Redcliffe (Family Systems Thinking for Congregational Leaders), Paul Maclean (The Spiritual Dimension of leadership), Andrew Reesor-McDowell (Making Meetings Work - Basic Faciliation Tools for Leaders), and Norm & Bonnie Greene (Riding the Godwave- Leading Your Church in Whitewater Times).
