Ministry Alternatives: a mastermind for those who are considering a change

Description

This six-month group coaching experience is for those who’ve had enough. If you’re burned out, overwhelmed, and have a desk drawer full of job applications…

Studies show that as many as 30% of all churches will close in the next five years. Trends that have been in place for years will continue, and that means fewer resources, fewer members, and fewer professional positions for clergy to occupy. With denominational splits looming, times have never been harder for church leaders.

Our starting point: this program assumes that you are called by God to be in ministry. We don’t think that has changed. But our institutions often guide us into expressions of ministry that are at odds with our own deep sense of calling and are not flexible over time. This group experience will reconnect you with your calling and walk with you into your next steps.

Confidentiality is key. One problem with programs sponsored by your judicatory is the fear of being “flagged” as someone who does not have long-term career potential. Our program is completely separate from church governance structures and is completely, 100% confidential. It is a safe space in which you can do the work you need to do.

Facilitators include Lakelands Institute coaches and consultants like Rev. Dan Dick, Rev. Doug Mills, Rev. Annette Flynn, and Rev. Steven Martin.
