This webinar will provide an in-depth look at the power teams bring to congregational work. Congregations using teams are able to mobilize members across generations for both short and long term tasks. We will talk about both the theory and practice of making a successful transition to a congregation doing its work through highly motivated, efficient teams. The webinar will address problems teams can expect to experience, as well as ways to resolve those issues.

John Wimberly served congregations for 38 years, thirty of those years at Western Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC. John’s quest for continuing personal, spiritual and professional growth led him to complete a PhD in systematic theology and an Executive MBA program. The latter program generated a sense of call to highlight the need for good business practices in the business side of a congregation’s life. He wrote and leads seminars on his highly praised book, The Business of the Church: The Uncomfortable Truth that Faithful Ministry Requires Effective Management. He consults with congregations on issues such as the creation and implementation of strategic plans, congregational growth and the empowering use of endowments. This webinar originally aired on January 31, 2017.
