TRANSFORMATION SEMINAR
Transforming Churches - a Journey of the
People of God
July 26-28, 2010

A dynamic learning experience for church leaders and those who serve in a consultative role with congregations. This seminar offers critical foundations for guiding the missional transformation journey.

Be introduced to a coherent and flexible process for major change toward a missional church. Journey of the People of God is a learning journey of spiritual depth for congregation and leaders alike.

This seminar will explore both conceptual foundations and practical strategies to help congregations get ready for a transformation journey. The journey involves three “seasons” of formation that enable a congregation to raise and answer key questions:

Discovering our missional context -- “why does the world need the church – and ours in particular?”
Discerning God’s call -- “what is God calling us to be and do in this time and place?”
Embodying God’s vision -- “how will shape our life and practice in missional ways?”

A particular focus will be to explore strategies for judicatories and other middle governing bodies who seek to support congregational transformation toward a missional church.
