Planting the Seed: Developing Future Christian Educators and Leaders in Ministry | Facilitator: Dr. Cathy Owens Oliver

In this powerful workshop, your facilitator will guide you through the critical succession planning processes and spiritual seed planting within your Christian Education department and ministry teams.

Through interactive discussions and reflective exercises, you will gain practical skills and insights to cultivate the next generation of Christian Educators and ministry leaders.

Topics for Discussion:

• The Importance of Succession Planning in Christian Education and Ministry Teams
• Principles of Seed Planting for Sustainable Leadership in Ministry
• Strategies for Identifying and Developing Future Christian Educators and Ministry Leaders
