Come alive in FIVE!
Participants in The Connectors are inspired and equipped to explore missional possibilities in the local community. Our Diocese’s fifth leadership learning cohort begins soon. There is still time to apply!
The Connectors FIVE initiative takes up to ten participants through a year of praying, learning and engaging in missional ministry. Through 10, two-day sessions skills are fostered in spiritual gifts discernment, rediscovering the local community, exploring authentic discipleship and learning how to build respectful relationships with new people. Six sessions are held in person, while four are hosted on Zoom.
This supportive network of peers – a blend of lay and clergy – mutually encourage one another, while being held accountable to missional goals. The Connectors involves study, discussion, goal-setting, trying new approaches to ministry, guest speakers and mutual peer support. Emphasis is on experimenting and doing ministry, not just learning about it. Each year cohort members report having clarity about their sense of call and are more confident in ministry.
Facilitators for the 2023 group are Kim Lively (The Connectors FOUR), Bishop Ron Cutler (retired) and Parish Vitality Coordinator, Lisa Vaughn. Costs are covered by the diocese.
