The Leadership Development Team invites you to a Live Webinar Series where you can connect with one another in ministry, imagine what your future is and could be in the United Methodist Church, and engage in missions and ministries that can better our world. Each webinar provides an opportunity to learn from the hard work and experiences of clergy in the Western North Carolina Conference to enable further opportunities of adaptation and growth in your ministry context.

Are you serving in a setting where you keep thinking "Our churches could serve more effectively working together"? Is your missional network discerning how they might move into deeper relationship? Is your church/charge struggling with dwindling numbers and fearing what the future might hold?
 
If you are saying "YES!", then join us for a conversation with Rev. Dr. Lauren Anderson, the instigator behind the creation of The Anchor Cooperative Parish, a partnership of four small-membership churches in Yadkin County for a time of dreaming and learning what might be possible in your setting.

A conversation with Rev. Dan White, Jr., about his story of clergy burnout that led to the opening of the Kineo Renewal and Retreat Center in Puerto Rico where ministry leaders can process their tired and traumatized souls. Dan will speak to the situation of leaders now who are experiencing anxiety and stress that can lead to burnout and how to prevent it. This opportunity is for leaders to feel seen and heard as they connect with Dan and one another.
