Developmental Ministry is different than Settled Ministry or Interim Ministry.  It is not simply holding a place until the ‘real’ minister arrives.  Developmental Ministry is designed to identify, explore and address any unresolved conflicts or organizational issues that would inhibit or prevent successful new ministry from rooting here.  It is designed to identify and point out to the congregation what ministers (and new members) are looking for so that the congregation can do its work in preparing to BE THE PLACE great leaders (including great members) want to be.  Rev. Greg has spent a year observing and talking and pointing out things.  This is an opportunity to have a congregational conversation about what he has come to understand and what he will be recommending happen in the next couple years to prepare for the kind of exciting future we want and observe.  He has written a report which is encouraged reading (although all are welcome). 

 A light lunch will be provided.
