MIN-559 Staying Power: Leading a Church Through Change

This course explains how the latest tools developed in management research can assist church leaders in retaining those newcomers who press for change, as well as unify them with the mainstream members of the church. The course deals with the problem congregations face of losing talented new people who grow despondent because of a church's inability or slowness to change. The course examines the foundational stages through which newcomers pass before leaving the church. It explores the methods for interrupting the "triggers" that cause people to leave. The course is based on original research gathered through field-testing over a 20-year period, augmented by a variety of supporting publications.
