Church Leadership Mentoring
Detailed information about the 2012 Forum Mentoring is not yet available but will be posted in the future. Please review the information from the 2011 Forum Mentoring below for a look at the quality of mentoring that will be available at the 2012 Forum.
CHURCH LEADERSHIP MENTORING
Church leadership, while immensely gratifying and fulfilling, can also be filled with discouragement and frustration. Many church leaders feel isolated in their positions and unsure of where to turn for help and encouragement. The passionate young seminary graduate placed in a position of leadership within a church can quickly feel overwhelmed by the demands placed on him or her and sometimes even “burns out” from the day-to-day stresses of leading in the church environment.
Forum Church Leadership Mentoring is designed to provide an outlet for the questions and concerns faced by church leaders. By providing such individuals the chance to sit and talk with a more experienced church leader about the struggles and joys of ministry, the Forum hopes to provide encouragement, prayer and refreshment to those in positions of church leadership.
