Thriving in Ministry


Description
The Thriving in Ministry course focuses on pastoral resiliency and will help strengthen the foundation of spiritual health and spiritual practices for our pastors, chaplains, and missionaries.

Pastoral resiliency is critical to achieving the mission of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) – “To see more disciples among more populations in a more caring and just world”.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, Thriving in Ministry is working in partnership with our conferences and associations to develop cohorts and initiatives to help address these challenges through three crucial aspects:
• strategic content to combat stagnation,
• gathering in cohorts to address isolation
• leveraging coaching to solidify application and maintain collegial connection.
