Programs: Sustaining Pastoral Excellence

Special challenges come when clergy face critical junctures in ministry.

  • Are you new to the ministry?
  • Are you stepping into denominational leadership for the first time?
  • Are you facing mid-career challenges?
  • Do you serve in a unique setting?

The Sustaining Pastoral Excellence Initiative nurtures and sustains clergy leaders at these critical junctures, with cohort groups, conferences, skill set modules, and research.

With support from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., the Lewis Center formed several clergy peer groups in 2005. These pilot groups will meet over two years for intensive leadership development activities, including skill assessment and theological reflection.
