Nonprofit Leadership

Smart ministries and businesses recognize that people are their greatest resource. Yet what do you do with that person that is just impossible to get along with? Or that co-worker who is continually contrary? Or that partner, board member, or fellow church member who is decidedly difficult to work with? Join us to learn practical tips in working with difficult people, drawn from life experiences that have taught both Craig and Steven important lessons.

Church members are passionate about sharing Christ through the talents God has given them. This often leads to the creation of ministries/organizations that are not managed by the Church but share the common purpose of preaching the Gospel in deed and word. God´s purpose for His Church is that all may be united in ministry, recognizing the diversity of talents but united in Spirit, ministry and purpose. Come and be part of a seminar where principles, testimonies and practical clues will be presented to help you respond to God´s calling and work in unity with the Church.

With laws and regulations in constant flux, Human Resources (HR) has become a vital and essential component of any organization or ministry. Matters such as proper hiring procedures, employee development, legal compliance, and liability protection are examples of crucial items that need to be handled intentionally and prudently. Join us as we explore several key HR guidelines that all organizations should implement to maximize protection of their ministries and place the focus back on winning souls to Christ.
