Calling Emerging Pastors...

As you navigate the early years of your ecclesiastical call to service you will experience unique challenges and opportunities that come with the early stages of ministry. The Early Ministry Institute Design Team invites you to be a part of the 2024 Early Ministry Institute (EMI). This year’s theme: Resilience and Community: In the Face of Loneliness.

 

EMI is a dynamic program designed specifically for emerging pastors, to include: Teaching Elders, Ruling Elders, Commissioned Lay Pastors, and Chaplains within their first five years of ecclesiastical call to service. It is crafted to provide you with valuable insights, resources, and a supportive community as you embark on this rewarding journey in ministry.

 

EMI is a three-year program providing emerging pastors with: 

  • Professional Development: Gain practical skills and knowledge to excel in your ministry.

  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow emerging pastors and mid-council leaders.

  • Mentorship: Benefit from the wisdom of experienced mentors in the field.

  • Community Building: Form lasting connections with peers who understand your journey.

 

The cost for the week is only $375 which includes your registration, lodging, and meals. If you are within your 1st -5th year of your call, we invite you to register for the Early Ministry Institute by completing the registration form: https://synodofthenortheast.wufoo.com/forms/mq6xx2k1hq4qd1/. Your participation will not only enrich your ministry but contribute to the vibrant community of emerging leaders within our Synod.
