Congregations Invited to Attend 'Multiple Staff Workshop' Sept 8-10

The dynamics of mutiple staff ministry is something one learns after leaving seminary. Although multiple staffs are present in a minority of congregations in the ELCA, they tend to be highly visible ministries. Approximately 10% of the clergy in the Church serve in a team ministry and almost all lay professionals (Associates in Ministry, Diaconal Ministers and Deconesses) serve in a team setting.

If you fall into the category above, please consider participating in the Multiple Staff Workshop on September 8-10, 2014 at the St. Therese's Retreat Center, 5277 E. Broad St, Columbus, Ohio.

The Multiple Staff Workshop leaders are Bishop Suzanne Dillahunt, Rev. Wally Arnold and Rev. Herm Kuhlmann.

Participants will cover:

• Communications
• How Teams are Organized
• MIT Theory
• Types of Team Meetings
• Colleagues in Ministry
• Journaling
• Leadership Style Analysis
• Team Tensions
• Covenanting
• Diagnosing Congregational Health
• Identifying and Prioritizing Gaps in Ministry
• Self-Utilization
• and much more...
