As we process changes and transitions, we are often grappling with complex emotions and concerns for ourselves and our communities. In response, we are hosting Supportive Spaces conversation opportunities to come together as people of faith, share our experiences, and find healing and strength in community.
.
Purpose:
- Provide a safe, confidential space for open dialogue
- Address fears and anxieties
- Explore ways to move toward healing
Key Discussion Topics:
- Concerns and emotional responses
- Self-care practices for leaders under stress
- Strategies for addressing fears and promoting resilience
- Strategies for supporting vulnerable communities
We believe that by coming together, we can find comfort and wisdom, and then we can reflect the healing love found in God’s promises to one another.

Supportive Spaces is a cohort-based program designed to enhance the holistic well-being and effectiveness of church leaders. Participants will engage in a transformative journey, meeting for one hour each week for six (6) weeks.

Registration is required, but there is no financial cost to participants, reflecting our commitment to accessible leadership development.
