Book now for Church21 Parish Development Conference

Monday February 13th 2017

Closing date for registration for the 2017 Church21 Parish Development Conference is Friday February 24.

The conference takes place at the Emmaus Retreat Centre, Swords, Dublin, on Saturday March 25.

Church21 is about enabling parishes to develop:

A clearer sense of direction.
A clarity of focus on priorities.
A commitment to collaborative leadership.
And confidence for the future.

The process recognises that each parish is at a different stage of development and allows the parish to evaluate its own needs and to set its own agenda. Sharing the journey with other parishes offers a creative stimulus and an added degree of motivation.

The Conference runs from 10am-4pm.

Subjects covered will include:

Getting from A to B.
Harnessing frustration.
Turning dreams into reality.
Stepping Stones of Parish Development

The Rev Ian Coffey, Director of Leadership Training at Moorlands College, and internationally renowned speaker, will be the facilitator.

Participants will also be learning from churches that have embarked on their own journeys of development in very different contexts.

It is requested that in addition to the ordained leader, at least four people will attend from each parish attend and that, ideally, one will be under 45 and one under 25.

The subsidised cost is £15 / €18 per person including coffee and lunch.
