Professional
Leaders'
Conference 2009 |

October
26-29 |

| The
privilege and joy of leadership in the Christian Church always comes
with many challenges interwoven with many opportunities. Professional
and public ministry often appears never-ending and demanding with
weekly deadlines, full agendas, crisis management, and enough surprises
and unplanned needs to keep the church professional in constant motion.
Balancing all of this with personal and family time, devotional, spiritual,
physical, emotional, and intellectual health and wellness demands
a life of priorities, discipline and self-care. Throw in a major personal
or professional crisis and maintaining the needed balance to lead
effectively and faithfully is all the more tested. Our two outstanding
speakers this year, along with the worship services, devotional moments,
and time for rest and relaxation, will offer every participant good
inspiration and sharpened tools for this journey. Built into the agenda
will be times of needed respite along the way.
