Register for our 2025 Helping Churches Thrive Creative Workshop Retreat!
Today’s landscape of church leadership is challenging but also full of opportunity. To thrive in this environment, congregations need new systems and practical tools for both paid and volunteer leaders. That’s why CBFNC’s Helping Churches Thrive ministry is hosting the Creative Workshop Retreat, an essential event for church leadership teams (deacon boards, finance committees, personnel committees, properties committees, other church leadership teams and church staff). This retreat offers impactful large group presentations on leading change and navigating conflict from pastors and lay leaders. It also includes practical learning tracks, collaborative learning spaces and small group sessions focused on the needs of today’s churches.
Participants can choose from learning tracks on topics such as church legal issues, financial sustainability, building vibrant volunteer cultures, hybrid staffing models, cultivating authentic community, leading change, navigating division and more.
Every session provides actionable tools to spark imagination and transform church leadership and ministry. Whether you’re tackling immediate challenges or rejuvenating your congregation’s vision, this retreat equips you to lead with confidence and creativity in an ever-evolving world.
We hope to see you November 14-15 at Ardmore Baptist in Winston-Salem to connect, learn and grow alongside other leaders in our fellowship!
