Most pastors lack practical training in economics. They may have a commitment to justice or charity, but don’t know how to equip their congregations to expand opportunity, create capacity, or connect virtue formation to everyday work in the economy. As a result, most congregation members don’t know how economic participation is connected with their faith. As pastors become equipped to integrate faith, work, and economic wisdom, congregants can embrace a new perspective on work and the economy that will transform the way they engage their communities.
Made to Flourish offers resources, peer relationships, coaching, and start-up funding to churches interested in beginning and sustaining a pastoral residency program. Our two-day workshop is the best way to assess your church’s readiness to begin and sustain a residency.
