Top Picks for Ministerial Development
Greetings from the Ministerial Development Office! I am Rev. Jory Agate and my assistant, Margaret Montore, and I assist ministers in fellowship as they develop their skills and deepen their ministry.
Our office oversees ministers’ continuing education grants, offers an annual training for new ministers, and provides other professional development workshops. We can also advise you on sabbatical planning, mid-career reflection and assessment as well as provide support for ministers who have had unplanned departures from their previous positions.
Below you will find some of the most frequently requested materials from our office.
We look forward to hearing from you!
