Creating a Culture of Change: Discern, Anticipate, and Adapt
Thursday, November 7, 2024, 7:30pm Via ZOOM
Presenter: Rev. Rich Hong
New Jersey Pastor and Presbyterians Today Columnist
Rich has been the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Englewood NJ since 2005. Having run his own software consultancy for twenty years, Rich brings his technological background to ministry, and he writes a regular column on the “digital church” for Presbyterians Today magazine.
Rich has a passion for evangelism and mission, and leads a church that he hopes will continue its growth as an inclusive, multicultural, and intergenerational community.
How can we lead our congregations –
-
to be more innovative?
-
to take chances on new initiatives?
It’s a steady journey, not a quick fix. We’ll hear possibilities taken from Rich’s own story of moving a congregation forward, and hopefully give you ideas that you can adapt to your particular context.
Congregations can thrive by creating a culture of continual change that seeks to discern, anticipate, and adapt to their context. This workshop will discuss current trends, adaptations to congregational programs, online worship, and the use of social media.
