2020 Leadership Academy – Virtual

Church the New Way

Leadership Academy gathers Disciples every fall to share leadership experiences, wisdom, and training.

This year, they can still expect to learn together, and for the first time, register core teams of up to five people for $500. (We encourage the lead pastor to register for everyone.)

From September 29 to October 1 (11AM to 6PM EST), New ChurchMinistry will host a virtual Academy featuring Start and Sustain Tracks to empower leaders, DOCTalks to address missional transformation, and LEADLabs to help leaders with missional concepts.

Speakers include:

• Rev. Terri Hord Owens, General Minister and President of the Christian Church(Disciples of Christ). She is sought after as a preacher, speaker, and workshop facilitator.
• Rev. Lorenzo Lebrija, Founding Director of TryTank, a laboratory for church growth and innovation. He speaks to groups about development, community involvement, the arts, business strategy, and marketing.
• Christiana Rice, Director of the Parish Collective. She is a trainer, writer, and convener, helping to reorganize the church around God’s dreams in the neighborhood.
• Tim Soerens, pastor, social entrepreneur, and co-founding Director of the Parish Collective. He is the author of Everywhere You Look: Discovering the Church, Right Where You Are, and the co-author of The New Parish.
