This one day workshop will train congregational leaders, pastors and laity, in how change can support the tenants and traditions of their church AND create lively and relevant expressions of that faith for themselves and for their community.
 

Participants will learn:

--The process of change is natural to the church because of our participation in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

--Change occurs in the Church through the renewing and life-giving power of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and is exercised by our Spirit-given gifts.

--Congregations, or their members, who focus on externals have replaced trust in Christ with other forms of security.

--The process of change must be built on the foundations of our Christian faith.  From there it must proceed carefully and judiciously in phases toward its completion.

The goal of the workshop is to train participants that change is normative for the church.  It is God who introduces change into our fellowship, for our sake and for the sake of the community we serve.  The gospel requires change; in us, in our churches, and in our communities.
