LEADING WITH DEPTH

Have a Powerful Ministry and a Life You Love

We will help you:

 

  • Find more agency in how you respond to ministry challenges

  • Come to work with less anxiety and more enjoyment

  • Get clearer about what you are responsible for and what responsibility lies with others.

  • Have a better experience with challenging people

  • Become your best self in ministry

 

Each month we will look at topics relevant to your ministry like:

 

  • Finding your voice in the pulpit and elsewhere

  • How to supervise staff

  • How to lead through change

  • How to keep your integrity in polarized times

  • Feel less overwhelmed by your ministry and its challenges.

 

To get started, fill in this application form. We’ll get right back to you so we can schedule a time to talk to see if this is right for you.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Meet for 3 hours once a month (third Thursdays) from September through May, including presentations on applying systems theory to ministry, and small groups. (Note: in April, we'll meet on the fourth Thursday)

​​

  • Small groups are made up of 4-5 experienced and vetted ministers, coached by faculty

​​

  • Monthly individual coaching sessions to help you apply your learning in your ministry context

Rev. Alan James (Jamie) Rieger

Senior Minister

The First Parish in Bedford, MA

"This course was invaluable to me in strengthening the skills to be a non-anxious principled leader, and those skills have translated to all aspects of my life. For me, it has been an amazingly empowering and transformative experience. Empowering is probably the key word--I feel more empowered in all aspects of my life now.”

Rev. Tiffany Sapp

Minister

Holston Valley UU Church, Gray, TN

“The insights into how I exist within my church system has changed the tone of my ministry in significant, positive ways. I come to work with less anxiety and more enjoyment. This class is well-crafted and has been formative in my development as a minister.”

Rev. Nancy Lynn

Senior Pastor

First United Methodist Church of Ann Arbor

"Through this program I have come to understand the importance of defining myself in the midst of conflict–being able to name what I will and won't do, what my principles and values are, and what my boundaries are.”
