Presbyterian Church of Queensland – Church Health Facilitation Team Training

It was great to return to Lake Moogerah south-west of Brisbane to continue training the new Church Health Facilitation Team for the Presbyterian Church of Queensland. This was their second live-in, workshop 4 of 6 in the training program. Tim taught on church systems and power dynamics, and we spent some time developing facilitation skills and reflecting on a past consultancy to consider choosing processes and forming recommendations.

The notes and resources can be found in the SharePoint folder.

Presbyterian Church of Queensland – Church Health Facilitation Team Training

Tim and I were pleased to connect with the Church Health Facilitation Team via Zoom from Melbourne this morning. We returned to the standard facilitation process before reflecting on different types of consultancies (problem solving, re-visioning, and redevelopment) and their respective dynamics. We also covered a range of diagnostic tools including comment groups, street retreats and church timelines.

The notes and resources can be found in the SharePoint folder.

Presbyterian Church of Queensland – Church Health Facilitation Team Training

Our next stage of training a new Church Health Facilitation Team for the Presbyterian Church of Queensland went live via Zoom this morning. Following a Biblical reflection on Ephesians 4, Tim built on the Church Life Cycle model by explaining church size dynamics (family, pastoral, program, and corporate sizes). We continued developing facilitation skills and finished considering principles for working with rural churches.

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

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:
