Change Management Seminar

Supported by a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., this free, in-person seminar led by Rev. Dr. Reginald Blount, will teach congregational leaders how to:

• • Understand key issues that arise during organizational transformation
  • Develop tools for managing challenges, mitigating risk, and balancing priorities
  • Learn new methods for motivating others, engaging teams, and leveraging resources and networks
  • Think through a potential change initiative in your ministry setting and consider the necessary steps for successful implementation

In addition to a full day of instruction on change management, $3,000 mini-grants will be awarded to congregations who meet at least one of the criteria below and who attend the seminar to help implement the desired change initiative in their congregation. Congregations eligible for the $3,000 mini-grant are:

1. 1. Congregations pastored by persons of color
   2. Congregations located in majority communities of color
   3. Small congregations (average worship attendance of fewer than 50 people)
   4. Rural congregations (communities with fewer than 2,500 residents)
