Leadership Training

Leadership Training for clergy, staff and members

This one-day training for clergy, congregational staff and members provides participants with the overview of the congregational team ministry model. Participants learn of current applicable research, roles of the faith community in prevention and addiction recovery support, levels of congregation involvement in responding to youth, adults, and families, and participants have an opportunity to discuss expectations of one another – clergy and lay leadership.

Participants receive information on how a team ministry relates to the congregation and to the community, how to address barriers that can keep their efforts from being effective, and many ideas from active teams. Clergy and team facilitators receive ministry guides to start the ministry. Guidance is offered on how to recruit a team, gain support from the congregation and initiate an alcohol and other drug abuse prevention and addiction recovery support ministry.
