Comments from past Starting Well participants:

"...it offers a safe place to be nourished, valued and challenged. It contains practical information and valuable opportunities for sharing what works and what doesn't."

"...important for new ministers to share and be recipients of each other's wisdom, stop being 'in charge' and learn, open self for rest..."

"Good to get together with colleagues and to have facilitators who have experience in ministry and wisdom to share."

"...realize that you're not alone..."

Come and participate in small and large group discussions and seminars, personal reflection, worship and examination of case studies prepared by participants from their current ministries.

Join us and build supportive relationships, experience a cumulative learning community and be rejuvenated!
