Embarking on a new pastoral assignment is both exhilarating and challenging. Join others who are moving for this group coaching experience tailored specifically to help you leave well and start right.
Guided by the experience of his six moves, Rev. Brett DeHart will help you navigate the complexities of saying goodbye to one congregation while embracing another. You will also learn from the collective wisdom of the others on the call who are in the midst of a move, as you are.

Preparing for the New Church: There are things you can do right now in the time leading up to your move that will make a huge impact on your ability to hit the ground running. Brett will guide you through this advance work to set the stage for success.
