Presbyterian Church of NSW and ACT – Church Consultancy Training

I enjoyed a couple of days in Sydney with the Presbyterian Church Consultancy Team. We looked at team and governance consultancies, supervision in church consultancy, and responding to churches who are navigating conflict.

The consultancy team Drobox has been updated with new resources.

Presbyterian Church of Australia NSW Spiritual Renewal Groups Facilitators Training

It was great to be back at the Tops (Stanwell Tops Conference Centre) for PCA NSW SRG facilitators training after being on zoom last year. Keen group of 25 or so facilitators of groups sponsored by Mission and Ministry. Lots of reflection this year on how valuable this ministry is to both men and women in ministry and for clergy spouses.

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:
