Workshop 3 presented as part of the 200th ‘Aha Pae‘āina
How do we equip people for leadership in the church when constant change is challenging and the way we have done things in the past no longer seems to work? What kind of training and support can we offer those we are recruiting for leadership?
Local churches (not to mention associations and the conference) often struggle to find people willing to serve as leaders. Just as often, those who are willing feel that they are not well-equipped to serve. Finding training and resources is challenging and expensive at times. A Hawai‘i Cohort of the TEL program could be the best choice for a local church for the formation of leaders in the church.
Purpose of this workshop:
–To share and celebrate the experience of HCUCC participants in the Theological Education for Leadership (TEL) program
–To explore TEL as a way to train HCUCC members for leadership in their local churches, in their Associations, and in the Conference
–To challenge local churches and associations to encourage and support equipping members for leadership in ways that are culturally sensitive, theologically sound, and pragmatic
Hear from PSR's TEL Program Coordinator Rev. Tana Roseboro-Marsh, PSR Assistant Professor on the Practice of Ministry Dr. Joyce del Rosario, and three (of six) graduates of Hawai‘i's first TEL cohort: Caroline Belsom, Linda Ka‘auwai-Iwamoto, and Tiffany Marrotte.
Pacific School of Religion (PSR)'s Theological Education for Leadership (TEL) Program is an online learning program of special courses and seminars for people who want to study theology and ministry in community. TEL is multicultural in its design and focus. The program may be engaged at the level that works for you—for personal spiritual formation, lay leadership training, professional growth, or continuing education.
