Ministry is about coming alongside those to whom we minister in the messiness of life - messiness that takes us to deep and profound places. In this context, it can be challenging to define and set boundaries; yet, to do so is critical for healthy relationships.

This two full-day workshop divided into four mornings will support leaders who wish to establish healthy boundaries and safe and respectful congregational culture in the context of ministry, as they work to:

- Create a healthier church culture

- Increase awareness regarding harassment and boundary crossing

- Understand power dynamics and learn to set and maintain boundaries

- Define expectations regarding a respectful and healthy congregation relating to the anti-harassment bill, Bill 168

- Teach practical skills that empower both church leaders and congregants

Once completed, participants will have a greater understanding of the dynamics associated with healthy boundaries and will gain practical tools for creating a respectful and safe church setting.

Cost: $75
