Who is it for?

Priests of the parish, SLT's, Alpha leaders and teams, Evangelisation coordinators and pastoral workers

If your parish has a heart for renewal and is actively pursuing it, this two-day leadership forum will help you take your next steps in forming disciples and raising up leaders. Whether you have a formal leadership team or are just beginning to build one, there is a place here for parish priests, leadership teams and those serving in pastoral ministry, whether that be Alpha leaders, pastoral workers, evangelisation coordinators, or anyone invested in their parish's ongoing renewal and raising up leaders.

WHAT WE'LL EXPLORE:

Day 1 — Spiritual Formation - The biblical foundations of formation; models that are working in parishes today, and practical steps your team can take.

Day 2 — Multiplying Leaders - How to form leaders who lead, what Jesus modelled with the Twelve, and a simple strategy your parish can implement.
