15 Continuing Education Preston Taylor Institute Tuesday, March 7th Begins at 9:00am Facilitator: Rev. Dr. Chris Dorsey President Higher Education and Leadership Ministries Disciples Home Missions Theology for Transformation One of the most striking promises of the Gospel is change. But what does that change look like in the life of a church leader? How is that change developed? What part does the church play in the process of transformation? The Rev. Dr. Chris Dorsey will help us wrestle with these questions during the Preston Taylor Institute. CE Course I- Theology for Transformation CE Course II- Theology for Transformation (Continued) CE Course III- Preaching for Transformation 15
16 Workshop Leaders Transforming Congregations Rev. Dr. R. Wayne Calhoun Executive for Evangelism & Congregational Transformation Disciples Home Missions Pastor, leaders and congregations must adopt a new mindset about what a 21 st century church should be. This mindset change includes how we view, see and do church in the 21 st century. 21 st Century Congregations must have transformational leadership in order to come to terms of what God is calling them to be and do as it relates to your vision, mission and ministry. We must change our mindset if our congregations are going to be relevant in the 21 st century. Leaders Who Transform the Church Rev. Denise Bell Regional Minister of Georgia Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)- Macon, GA Church vitality and transformation are leadership dependent. However, leadership is not solely pastor dependent. The synergy and shared commitment on the part of pastor and people is a key component to increase vitality, to enable new vision and mission to emerge and to bridge the past, celebrate the present and embrace the future. This workshop is about learning the principles of Shared Leadership and its ability to strengthen the local church. Transforming Clergy for Effective Ministry Rev. Angela Whitenhill Mental Health Initiative Manager National Benevolent Association St. Louis, MO During times of transition when change is inevitable, it is important clergy have time to pause and reflect on their own transformative process. This interactive workshop will explore key elements of change, discuss barriers to healthy transformation, and highlight effective mental, and spiritual wellness strategies for resilient, soul nurturing ministry. 16
17 Transforming Women Ministry Rev. Chesla Nickelson Program Director Disciples Women An opportunity to talk about liberating women s ministries from a specific ideal model and developing women s ministries that are relevant and impactful for their context. Your Pension Fund Programs Rev. Aaron Smith Director of Employer Services Pension Fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) This workshop will explain the benefits of the Pension Plan, a retirement benefits program offered by Pension Fund of the Christian Church. Pension Plan is a valuable benefit during full time ministry and after retirement.

Terrell McTyer Minister of New Church Strategies Hope Partnership Pastor Terrell L McTyer is the newest addition to Hope Partnership for Missional Transformation in Indianapolis, IN. Rev.
