Shepherd Life: Help and Hope For Pastors & Ministry Leaders

August 29

The interior life of the pastor and ministry leader is deep and often uncharted territory. As men and women in ministry take on additional burdens and pressures, they more often have no one to process their own concerns and hardships. Pastoral ministry is both a high calling as well as a dangerous calling. This brief, 1/2 day seminar will endeavor to address three areas of pastoral life and ministry:

• The Pastor's Calling: High & Dangerous
• Pastoring Your Own Heart
• The Pastor: Congregation Relationship

This seminar will be led by Fieldstone Counselor Bob Shull, an ordained pastor who has served in ministry for over 28 years.

How People Change Workshop

September 8

Change in any situation is difficult, and yet God’s Word has so much to say about change. Life’s ups and downs can cloud out our ability to see the goodness and mercy of God which comes to us expressly during those times. What if the ups and downs of life were actually graces from God to make us more like His Son?

Over the course of this one-day workshop we will study the intricacies of the human heart and see the beauty of the gospel of Christ that transforms daily life in a real and tangible way. In-depth biblical discipleship is about relationships, with God and with others.

How People Grow Spiritually Discipleship Conference

November 10

Most Christians agree that God intends for His children to grow spiritually. There is much less agreement about how people grow spiritually. How do we “make disciples?” Why do so many feel stuck and like they aren’t growing in their faith? How can we overcome the sins that we struggle with in everyday life?

In this 4-hour workshop taught by Pastor Jonathan Holmes, Pastor of Counseling at Parkside Church, we will see how God has designed Christians to grow spiritually. This conference will help those wanting to grow in their own faith. It will also help those wanting to learn how to disciple and help others grow spiritually as we live in relationships together.
