We are pleased to be able to offer our churches an opportunity to join in an adaptive leadership learning initiative for congregations with Dr. Lawrence Peers.
Dr. Peers is a leadership coach who works with ministers and religious organizations across many traditions. He draws from a rich array of insights and methods from his extensive background in organizational development.
Dr. Peers is a former senior consultant with The Alban Institute and helped to establish networks of learning and support for the Pastoral Excellence Network from which the Community of Practices arose. He holds a doctoral degree in organizational change from Pepperdine University and in congregational studies from Hartford Seminary. He also holds master's degrees in both theology and developmental clinical psychology.
Through his leadership, Dr. Peers will provide pastors and congregational leaders an opportunity to identify adaptive challenges and to create a model for addressing those challenges. The workshops help identify challenges and barriers to change and offer an opportunity to develop prototypes and experimental learning projects.
Registration cost per church is $100 for a team of 3 to 6 people. The teams should plan to attend each workshop and complete the learning/action guide activities prior to each workshop.
The process will include churches identifying learning goals for their team. The dates for this online learning initiative are:
- July 30 - Registration Deadline
- August 28 -8:00 am -12:00 pm Half-day Retreat (Online)
- September 11, 25; October 16 - 9:00 am - 11:00 am 2-hour workshops in which church leaders address the adaptive challenges that have been identified
- January 15 - Final Conference-wide program to access how the model worked and what was accomplished.
The goals are to help congregational leadership teams (clergy and lay) to:
- Assess gaps between what leaders hope their church can do and what it is doing.
- Imagine ways to build on current strengths and clarify how the church is called and challenged for the future.
- Determine ways to innovate, experiment, and plan to respond to these adaptive challenges and learn from the results.
- Feel resourced by learning planning disciplines and tools that inform the challenges and aspirations of the church.
The workshops help identify challenges and barriers to change and offer an opportunity to develop prototypes and experimental learning projects. Three to six months following the workshops, participants will join to celebrate their accomplishments and learning and plan the next steps.
