Congregational Life Centre
Our mission is to assist congregations to be more
effective in their ministry
Starting this June ...
Leading Organic Community
Our research has identified the importance of leadership in creating vibrant,
effective communities of faith. It is important to identify the leadership
skills that are needed to create the Kingdom of God - God's realm or God's
new community - in the neighbourhoods or areas served by particular congregations.
To create these environments requires leaders who have the necessary skills
and a willingness to explore the possibilities. We want to provide an opportunity
for leaders to incubate and grow their community through a process of learning
and action.
