Leader Development
Leadership is both a gift and a learned skill.
The PNA recognizes the value of leadership and is working to enhance this key dimension of the church, both among career ministers and laity. This includes providing specific programs and opportunities for current leaders, and discovering potential leaders for the church's future.
At present we offer the following leader development opportunities:
- Ministerial Development - A guided learning and cluster experience for ministers in the credentialing process. See below for upcoming events.
- SHAPE (Sustaining Health and Pastoral Excellence) - A comprehensive, three-year support and growth experience for active Church of God ministers.
- Willow Creek Leadership Summit - In cooperation with Cornwall Church in Bellingham pastors and other church leaders are able to take advantage of this annual event.
We are currently developing other leadership opportunities for our pastors and congregational leaders. Watch for more details.
