Certificate in Congregational Leadership Retreat

CCL Retreat: August 9 - 11, 2019
Family Systems, Preaching & Worship
Cost: $279 (double occupancy)

This retreat will feature a session on preaching with Rev. Dean Snyder, who most recently served as Senior Pastor at Foundry UMC in Washington, DC. Dean is now retired and lives in Kennedyville, MD.

It will also focus on development as a non-anxious leader. Edwin Friedman's Generation to Generation: Family Process in Church and Synagogue uses a family systems approach to congregational leadership. It has set the standard for training non-anxious leadership. Jack Shitama has been using this material to develop congregational leaders for nearly two decades. He uses material from his book, Anxious Church, Anxious People: How to Lead Change in an Age of Anxiety at the retreat.

Participants will stay at the Riverview Retreat Center
