“Leading with Bold Imagination”
For church professionals, lay people in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and beyond
What do you dare to imagine? What part do you play, as a leader in your congregation, in lifting up new ways of thinking and doing? If you’re ready to challenge the ordinary with something all-together extraordinary and wonderful, be part of Montreat’s 2012 Institute for Church Leadership, “Leading with Bold Imagination.” Meet people past and present who live out inspired, imaginative ministries and demonstrate what can happen when, with God’s help, they boldly and faithfully step forward.
“Now to God who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine.” Ephesians 3:20 NSRV
