Pastors Renewal Retreats

In a number of my recent pastor’s seminars, participants have asked about renewal retreats.

Pastors Renewal Retreats were established by Rev Les Scarborough around 25 years ago. Each retreat group meets for three residential retreats (one a year) and a number of day meetings between residentials. Groups have around 10 members who are asked to make a covenant commitment to the process for the full three years. The purpose is for the group to become a support and growth community encouraging each member in their pastoral ministry and assisting members deal with stresses and challenges. While the retreat process is facilitated by two equipped members, much is open to the input and decision making of the group. Groups are functioning in many denominations and also across denominations in several states.

For further information and a current brochure for Victorian Renewal Retreats please follow the highlighted link. The contact person for Victorian Renewal Retreats is Diana Dow: pastors@bethtephillah.com

In Tasmania, Renewal Retreats also operate non-denominationally. The contact person for men in ministry is Rev Jeff McKinnon: jeff@deeperplace.com.au and for women is Susan Whiteley: suewhiteley@bigpond.com

Welcome

Welcome to ‘the johnmark extension’, my current primary website. If you have attended a seminar or training day that I have facilitated, the notes and resources should be linked below in my ministry blog.

The ‘johnmark extension’ provides leadership training in a wide range of areas oriented toward the professional learning of pastors and the leaders of Christian and not for profit organisations. See the areas in which I am currently teaching and training
Leadership Development Workshops.

Many of these resources have also been shared on
The Christian Leadership Exchange

Developed out of our mentoring training, the MEQ course, which is offered in a range of formats from ACT accredited through to workshop based short courses, there is a resources site for leaders who mentor others. Check out resources on The Mentor Exchange

Over recent years teaching skills in Conflict Management has become an area in its own right for me. Find conflict resources and training in peacemaking here:
