Caring for our pastors: a training for pastor-congregation relations committees
Recording – May 20 2021 webinar
Pastoral ministry is tough, even without pandemics. Pastors are experiencing a high level of fatigue, stress, tiredness, and self-doubt due to a year of extraordinary change and multi-layered issues related to covid19, and other current events.
Intended for those who serve on Pastor Congregation Relations Committees (PCRCs) or similar groups, this webinar will help lay leaders better care for and assist in building resilience in their pastors by finding practical ways to offer care.

He has served in several pastoral roles at a variety of Anabaptist schools throughout the U.S and was recently asked to be a cohort faculty member for Kairos through the Parish Resource Center.
