The five cities in S4's Congregational Learning Process will draw on insights from religious leaders and knowledgeable church consultants, to create learning communities for both pastoral and lay leaders. Our team will work directly with groups of congregations to guide each congregation through a carefully designed learning process, this includes trainings, guidance, and - above all - community.
The CLP will show congregations that they are not alone in these struggles, but actually facing a common set of problems and opportunities. Through this, these congregations will gain clarity about their own values and mission, and learn how to adapt their ministries to their changing contexts, while drawing on practices from their theological and ecclesial traditions.
