Emerge
Process
Builds Congregational Leaders
Another round of Emerge lay
leadership training will soon begin, with dates for the intensive
leadership development process beginning in early 2008. Two of the
weekend-long meetings will be held at Windermere Conference Center near
Camdenton, but this year, the final session will take place at the CBF
General Assembly in Memphis, TN.
Participants in the Emerge process gain a better understanding of their
own leadership strengths and style, spiritual formation, church systems,
and missional church concepts. Program graduates emerge as more confident
decision-makers, more steady supporters to the church staff and more
knowledgeable and prepared leaders in times of church planning, growth and
conflict.
Drs. Bob Perry and Marilyn Nelson of Organizational Health Associates lead
the Emerge events. Perry has been a pastor, a foreign missionary, a
director of associational missions, an organizational consultant and a
businessman. Bob has written six books and led hundreds of conferences and
consultations nationwide on church leadership, church health and strategic
planning. Nelson served for 23 years as a missionary in New Mexico, New
York, Missouri and Washington, DC. She was a seminary professor for eight
years at the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond. With degrees in
social work, she has specialized in volunteer management, supervision and
lay mobilization.
