Leading As Ourselves: Discerning Models for Ministry

Need a chance to learn and connect with young clergy women like yourself?  Want the chance to re-examine, revitalize, and recharge with others who share your journey?  Then THIS is your conference.

We'll be blessed by the coaching of Rev. Melissa Clodfelter and Rev. Beth Kennett and the guidance of other colleagues as we consider what leadership looks like in 2010 and how we engage that leadership in powerful, balanced ways.

Our world and our church today sit squarely in need of a paradigm shift.  Programs and quick fixes will not work in the places we serve.  Snippets and soundbytes are not sufficient as we seek to engage our neighbors.  We must move to our great core strength and prophetic voice.  We must think about our own leadership style, what God might be calling us to do through that style, what does and doesn't work in our ministry settings, and how we can enhance what we're already doing to empower others as well as ourselves.  In the context of warm community, honest sharing, and probably some chocolate, this is what we'll begin to explore in our time together.

You'll want to be here.  Come join us.  We’ll enjoy community and laughter, take time to worship and refresh creatively, and build relationships that will help sustain us through the year.

Rev. Melissa Clodfelter, Director of Vocational Formation at Wake Forest University School of Divinity and The Coordinator of Coaching for the Center for Congregational Health as she helps us explore how we embody pastoral leadership and try to live in balance.
