Good staff relations are a vital element in supporting healthy and vibrant congregations. Whether you are in a new transitional ministry position or serving a congregation where you are settled, connecting to and building collaborative relationships are of primary importance.
The Guild of Interim Religious Educators invites you to explore the 3 C’s of Staff Relations: Covenant, Conflict and Community. Understanding these elements can spell the difference between a collaborative, healthy staff team and one that finds itself adrift. We’ll cover the importance of covenants – as they impact staff ministry teams and the congregation. We’ll examine conflict – both how it occurs and how to navigate it. And we’ll focus on building healthy staff relationships and the ways in which our relationships as religious professionals impact the communities we serve.
This three-hour class can be the key to starting your ministry off in the healthiest ways possible. GIRE educators Deborah Weiner, Leah Purcell, and Lily Rappaport are your facilitators. Register now; class participation will be capped at twenty individuals.
