Free Webinar – Sustaining while Disrupting
March 7, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Learn new ways to address the challenge of congregational innovation.Many churches today find it difficult to adjust to changing circumstances. Traditional models of leadership are not working for new and unfamiliar issues.
For many congregational leaders, preserving cherished traditions while discerning God’s new thing is a challenge. Trying to innovate to address a changing context and culture can take a backseat to daily responsibilities and maintaining ongoing ministries. This webinar offers insights and practices to help leaders navigate this impasse in ways that do not become an either/or situation.
Join Dr. F. Douglas Powe Jr. and Dr. Lovett H. Weems Jr., authors of the book Sustaining While Disrupting: The Challenge of Congregational Innovation, for this timely webinar to learn ways to help you sustain tradition while guiding fresh initiatives and addressing unfamiliar issues.
