Lifelong Learning in Ministry is Changing—Are We Ready?
Lifelong learning is essential for ministry leaders to adapt, grow, and respond faithfully to the changing needs of the church and world. How are lifelong learning programs in theological education evolving—and what support do they need to thrive?
In this interactive Common Table Virtual Gathering, Helen Blier, Director of the Center for Lifelong Learning at Columbia Theological Seminary and President of the Association of Leaders in Lifelong Learning for Ministry (ALLLM), will share findings from the latest nationwide survey of and interviews with lifelong learning leaders in theological schools.
We’ll explore what these data say about these seminary-based programs and the people who lead them and consider what these programs might mean for the future of theological education and ministry leaders.
Effective Governance
Governance is a community-based process that drives decisions and shapes both organizations and communities. Governance plays a key role in the health and well-being of congregational systems and those who lead them. Join One Hope International’s David Branker for an interactive gathering discussing effective governance. What do we know about the roles, expectations and needs of governance from existing research and practice? How can we support good governance within congregations?
