If you are a clergy person in the role of pastor, staff pastor, chaplain, commissioned minister, educator, or ministerial candidates with a passion to lead well, this event is for you.

This workshop is the first component of a multi-year leadership program funded by a grant and designed to:
(a) train and provide support for full and part time clergy/ordained, commissioned and ministerial candidates to increase their leadership capacity; and (b) increase their personal/spiritual health and vibrancy. This learning opportunity will provide a renewed leadership capacity to engage and explore communities of faith in new and life giving ministry that provides hope to communities and shares the good news of Jesus Christ.

The program includes:

  • Leadership assessments
  • Action reflection model of learning.
  • Addressing real situations in participant’s ministerial settings.
  • Theological reflection from a perspective of practical theology.
  • Peer support and mentoring of one another.
  • Developing a shared commitment to reframe leadership practices in congregational ministry.

An updated version of They Like to Never Quit Praisin’ God: The Role of Celebration In Preaching was released in August 2013, and it is considered by many to   be a homiletic classic.

Medicaid Re-enrollment

If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you. 

    • Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage. 
    • During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone. 
    • Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage. 
    • Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location 
    • For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
