A Training for Congregational Leaders

Register HERE! Add to my calendar

Program Overview
Jumping into a church position without all the “tools” you need can be a challenge! “Now what?” is a question we often hear from newly elected Council members and newly appointed committee chairs. Thank you for being open to God’s call and serving in your congregation. It is exciting to see how listening to God, the congregation and the community will lead us to use our gifts, open doors and help us live into our congregational vocation.

Let’s Fill Your Toolbox! Is an opportunity to gather with others across the Nebraska Synod serving in congregational leadership roles.

This 3-hour training session will include specific training for council presidents, secretaries, treasurers, committee chairs and office administrators.

Join for a morning of prayer, fun, networking and learning. Share with others in your congregation.
