DH-01 - Recreating the Church: Leadership for The Post-Modern Age
This five-session course helps us make sense of the new context in which we of the church find ourselves, provides practical models by which to understand how our congregations need to change, describes a visioning process by which we can discover what God is calling the church to be and do now, and provides practical advice and counsel to those who provide leadership for change.
This course is based on Dr. Hamm's book of the same title, TCP Leadership Series, Chalice Press, 2007, supplemented by up to date findings from recent consultation, which is used as the class textbook for the course.
