听Participation in church boards and committees sometimes is more frustrating than fruitful, draining than fulfilling. People experience inefficiency and observe a lack of productivity. Worst of all, their experience on a church board seems to diminish their faith rather than nurture it. But it doesn鈥檛 have to be that way. Congregational boards can be organized to be effective in their tasks and nurturing of relationships and faith. Participants can realize significant impact and satisfaction in their shared work together. But they have to know how to make this happen. This workshop, led by Dr. David Peter, provides insight into models for more effective congregational governance and methods for transforming church boards, committees, and teams into productive communities of ministry. It offers to guide leaders to nurture volunteers toward increased fruitfulness and congregations toward greater impact for Christ鈥檚 kingdom. (9:00 a.m. 鈥� 4:00 p.m.; Werner Auditorium; $25)
