Clergy Workshop:
From Congregational Resistance to Resourcefulness
Register by Clicking the Button Below:
Churches have always resisted change, but it’s become worse due to the pandemic and polarization, leading churches into steeper decline. Frustrated pastors are changing churches and leaving ministry. Some churches are being held hostage by dysfunctional lay leaders.
Yet churches have to change if we’re to stave off deep decline and congregational death.
Rooted in insights from individual, group, and family systems therapy, organizational psychology, spiritual formation, and 34 years of experience in turning around and growing churches and organizations, the Rev. Dr. Graham Standish will offer pragmatic guidance for church leaders on transforming resistance into resourceful change.
Workshop 1
Thurs., March 31
Understanding why they resist and how to use their resistance creatively.
Workshop 2
Thurs., April 7:
Pragmatic ways to turn domineering resisters into resourceful supporters.
