Clergy Leadership Group
The Samaritan Center of Southern Wisconsin, announces a Pastor Leadership Seminar for all area clergy. The Seminar's goal is to improve leadership skills for today's ministry. Clergy present case studies of difficult situations in their churches, which require their leadership. Participants then receive peer feedback for fresh perspectives. Some readings specifically focused on pastoral leadership will be discussed. The agenda for the group is determined by the participants. The leadership seminar will be co-led by Dan Feaster, executive director and pastoral counselor of the Samaritan Counseling Center and Dr. Fred Coleman. Both have significant experience in working with clergy and congregations. Sessions will be held the third Tuesday of the month, from 11-2 (working lunch) November through June 2008. Fee for the leadership group is $100.
Some possible topics might include:
How do I deal with difficult members?
What are some effective ways of resolving conflict without being victimized?
How do I continue to pastor when I am running out of energy or becoming discouraged?
How can I better accept my limitations as a person?
How do I deal with my emotions when ministering in tragic situations?
How do I develop cooperative leadership strategies with my co-pastor?
What do I do when I am leading but few are following?
How do I survive in a system, which is consuming me?
