Center for Clergy Excellence: Renewal Track

Program Structure

*We are in the process of revamping this program to meet the requirements of the new 8-Year Assessment Process mandated by the Book of Discipline. A pilot program will run with retreats in January and May. The regular 3-retreat format will resume in August 2020. 

The core element is a series of three 4-day, 3-night retreats. Each retreat combines spiritual formation and professional development designed to renew and re-tool. A primary emphasis will be on experiences that are translatable to and repeatable in one's own ministry setting.

The dates for the inaugural cohort are (all programs are Monday-Thursday):

• January 6 - 9, 2020
• May 11 - 14, 2020

Renewal Track Retreats

The retreats will be held at Pecometh’s Riverview Retreat Center and will cost $399 each, double occupancy ($573 per retreat, single occupancy). Participants are encouraged to cover the cost using their continuing education allowances of $800 per year. 2.0 CEU's are awarded for each retreat.

Retreat Topics are:

Participants will also be offered the opportunity to participate in monthly electronic group coaching sessions for support, accountability and collaborative learning. These optional, one-hour sessions will be offered in September, October, November, February and March of the program year.
