EDUCATION

Fundamentals of Transitional Leadership (FTL) Training

FTL training equips transitional leader practitioners to help them manage change for healthy transitions and faithful transformations. It reflects a key IMN principle that change provides a unique opportunity to address organizational issues, make adaptive change, and help the congregation meet discerned goals and deepen resilience. It relies on change, transition, and systems theories to help practitioners frame the work of managing change. FTL also provides participants with a wide range of analytical and discernment techniques, approaches for setting a climate of change and mobilizing the congregation, and skills for dealing with naturally occurring change dynamics such as conflict. In addition, FTL emphasizes to an even greater extent the importance of posture – how we bring ourselves to and embody the work of the transitional leader.

DISCOVER the Power of Emotional Intelligence in Ministry Leadership

DISCOVER the Power of Emotional Intelligence in Ministry Leadership is a 4-session, 10-hour highly participative course that will help you identify and process your own feelings and emotions, improving your ability to recognize your emotional impact on others and to navigate your interactions with them.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

I have been very pleased with my IMN training experience. The program’s design and content have been invaluable. This investment has been worthwhile as I transition into interim ministry, equipping me to serve better during the church’s transitional period.

LaRay Salsberry, Disciples of Christ

This was a great event-one of the best continuing education events I have attended-definitely worthwhile and helpful to my ministry.

Bonnie Moore

I have truly enjoyed this work as it has confirmed my faith alongside the confirmation received in the church. The blend of theoretical and practical learning was both enjoyable and effective. Engaging with various denominations and their liturgical practices presented valuable insights, making the challenging moments worthwhile. Thank you for the education.

James Gillett, American Baptist

I found the program and presenters to be absolutely fantastic overall. The materials were excellent, and I gained a lot from the group activities. It also provided a wonderful experience of spiritual nourishment and faith sharing, all within a collegial atmosphere in a retreat-like (non-workplace) setting.

Julie Aldrich, United Church of Christ

Loved the interdenominational environment.

Mike Ehmer

I’m glad I took the time and effort. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I have resources and experiences to which I can return for stimulus, information, and insight.  It’s like a “tool box”.
