The Lewis Center for Church Leadership has assembled a new collection of video-based resources for training clergy who mentor other clergy – particularly those new to pastoral ministry. Informed by the Lewis Center’s extensive research on the effectiveness of mentoring programs for those in their first years out of seminary and by the Center’s work on the leadership development needs of younger clergy, these resources are designed to take clergy mentoring to the next level by augmenting denominational training materials.

Group Training Version
This resource is designed for group mentor training events conducted by denominations or judicatories. It contains seven presentation segments in video and PowerPoint versions. Accompanying the DVD is a Resource CD with handouts, discussion exercises, Bible studies, case studies, and other supplementary material. The package includes a facilitator’s guide with a sample training agenda, a planning template, and tips on how to conduct a training event and customize the material to specific needs. Purchasers of the Group Training Version are granted permission to exhibit the presentations in group settings and duplicate written materials for training participants. Purchasers of the Group Training Version are also eligible to purchase at discount rates the Individual Study Version of Taking Clergy Mentoring to the Next Level for any number of trainees.

Individual Study Version
Clergy mentors indicate overwhelmingly that they need more training for their task. Mentees value mentoring but also indicate that their mentors need more resourcing for this important responsibility. The Individual Study Version is designed for clergy mentors who wish to prepare on their own for a ministry of mentoring. The DVD and Resource CD contain video presentations, written resources, and supplementary materials on such topics as biblical and theological foundations for mentoring, mentoring as leadership development, and helping clergy put their personal calling into a larger context. It also gives mentoring best practices through the Lewis Center's research-based "Ten Commitments of Mentoring."
