Northern Ohio Facilitators Are Ready

Through the visionary leadership of Bishop John Childers and State Coordinator Rick Fuson, Northern Ohio is advancing as one of eight states to engage in the Covenant Pastoral Leadership Development Initiative this fall.

On August 1-3 twelve Northern Ohio pastors gathered in Akron, Ohio for three days of training in facilitative leadership in preparation for the effort.

Concerning the project's potential impact on an estimated 100 Northern Ohio pastors, Rick Fuson remarked, "Pastors no longer need to feel isolated; they are now participants with others in planning and processing their own ministerial development."
