We were honored and energized last Sunday by the visit of Mr. Ed O’Malley, President and CEO of the Kansas Leadership Center (KLC). Following his visit the Mission Council voted to accept his invitation to apply for the Faith and Leadership: Transforming Communities training in 2014. This program has four phases. Phase one focuses on team building and leadership training. The dates for this training, which is held in Wichita, are March 2-5, 2104. Phase two involves KLC coaching with the team and the congregation. Phase three involves evaluation and planning for the future. This phase is September 14-16, again in Wichita. Phase four includes individual coaching with the team and the congregation. There is no financial cost to participants or to the congregation. However, a significant investment of time is required. The deadline for application to the program is December 2, 2013.
Jon Lane has agreed to contact Mr. O’Malley and lead us through the application process. Mr. O’Malley said that participating faith communities need a leadership team of 5-10 people. If you would like more information about this opportunity go to the Kansas Leadership Center website. If you are interested in being a member of our leadership team, or want more information, please talk with Jon. He will be arranging for a time when Mr. O’Malley can sit down with potential team members for a more in depth conversation.
Peace, David Hansen
