Your church or ministry's ability to grow is directly tied to your ability and desire to grow personally as a leader. If you want to reach new levels of effectiveness in your ministry, you will need to raise the bar. If you want to grow your church, you will need to raise the bar. If you want to increase membership giving, you will need to raise the bar. If you want to raise up potential leaders for the 21st century, you will need to raise the bar.

The coming of the emerging culture raises the bar of leadership expectations even higher. In this transitional time, church leaders still experience the expectations of the waning culture as well as the expectations of the growing emerging culture. The marked contrast between modern and postmodern expectations for church leadership create an atmosphere ideal for frustration and conflict.

Workshops at the Pastor and Church Leadership 2007 will assist you in raising the bar, by focusing on not just learning leadership but understanding how it applies to your unique situation in your church or ministry. This will allow you to instantly transfer leadership principles and innovative ideas back into the emerging real world where you can make an immediate impact.
