Relational Ministries: A Spirituality of Mission","description":"

Take your existing outreach ministry to the next step or create something new by connecting to your theological and spiritual values. We will discuss how to move from ministry that is primarily to others into one that is ministry with people who are in need, and then look at the ways sharing the ministry creates a community that is church.

This course is designed for individuals and for teams. For churches that attend as a team, there will be time to develop plans for next steps that are specific to your context.

To encourage greater participation from your community, this course offers discount codes for each additional participant:

The cost is $200 for the 1st,
$100 for the second,
$50 for the third and fourth participant.

For more information about discounts, contact Hailey McKeefry Delmas, Interim Director Pathways, hmckeefry@bexleyseabury.edu. (Dr. Julie Lytle will return from sabbatical in January 2025.)

OVERVIEW OF SESSIONS
Week One: What are you doing now? Building Relationships.
Week Two: Creating Change? Leadership development
Week Three: What is Church? Incorporating spirituality
Week Four: What next? (individual live sessions as scheduled)
