The Rev. Charles N. Fulton III, Missioner for Congregational Development and Episcopal Church Building Fund President, leads a seminar staff are successful church planters, teachers, and experienced practitioners of church growth. The teachings of this seminar will benefit those congregations that have hit a growth plateau, those in decline, and those considering planting a new congregation. Your choosing to attend assumes that you are willing to challenge the existing norm and that you are prepared to lead. To significantly increase the membership of a congregation, the change required will feel radical. Successful leaders of church growth are self-motivated, have a vision, are flexible, take risks, and can develop faith in others.
Leaders develop quantifiable goals and hold themselves accountable.
Leaders need more than knowledge about church growth methods. Imagination, passion, and action are required within the leadership to make growth a reality. While all registrants are welcome, congregations that send a team of clergy and laity, and dioceses sending groups experience the best results. Priority is given to these registrants. A criterion for enrollment is the submission of demographics on your congregation.
