Taught by Rev. Cath DePalma
$249
(Ministers only)
Transformational Ministry, once taught only to those Ministers wanting to apply to be Interim Ministers is now offered for all Ministers. The skills needed to guide a congregation through change, new ideas, and dynamic emotions is as useful to Ministers in their own congregations as it is to Ministers serving congregations in transition.
Interim Ministry is a high calling for many Ministers within Centers for Spiritual Living. It requires patience, stamina, and a willingness to stand in the center of discomfort and healing within a community. It requires the use of all of the skills learned through time in a successful ministry. Help communities heal from loss, move on from conflict or transition through change. You will gain conscious communication skills and acquire tools for conflict transformation. Explore new tools for peacemaking, bridge building, and personal growth.
This course has tools and information valuable for anyone managing change in a community, wanting to teach vital membership skills in a loving way to a congregation, or healing a rift.
This program is a requirement for consideration to work as an Interim Minister within Centers for Spiritual Living. Completion of the program does not guarantee work or interim placement in a CSL Member Community.
Upon completion of the program, interested participants will be invited to the interview and selection process for the CSL Interim Ministry Team. This process involves completing an applicant packet, attending an interview, providing a background check and reference letters.
Our Interim Ministry Team works around the world with CSL Member Communities in transition.
