Trang 1For the 6th year, Spirit in the Desert
Retreat Center presents the powerful
California Lutheran University week of
continuing education with faculty from
the School of Management
This continuing education event for
pastors and church leaders, will
explore how concepts from an MBA
program can be applied to the arena
of congregational life
This event is for any denomination!
In the very complex environment of
congregational management, we all
can use new tools for ministry Each
day, we explore a different theme
All three levels run at the same time
This is due to our desire to create
synergies between the participants
as they join together in housing,
meals and breaks while participating
in different levels/classes Level 1 is
the prerequisite to Level 2/3
Level One
Level 1 is a pre-requisite to Level 2/3
Finance – The Importance of Numbers
Leadership – What is Your Leadership Style?
Marketing- What is Marketing?
Information Systems – Ministry
in a Digital Age
Strategic Questions – The Five Most Important Questions You Can Ask Emerging technology for pastors will identify a framework for evaluating choices about new technology for worship, pastoral care, and other church functions
Various emerging technologies for churches will be considered, such
as virtual reality, livestreaming worship (both directions), drones, new social media, and the like
New technologies appear frequently – how do we make the best use of those and avoid others
to accomplish our mission?
Entrepreneurship – What is our
Value Proposition?
