Pioneering Parishes – Values Setting and Embedding Workshop

Ministry & Leadership

Saturday 12 September 2026

Thriving congregations tend to be rooted in ongoing conversations about what kind of people they want to be for God in their local area. But those conversations can be difficult to start and navigate. This online training will give you the tools to ask the right questions, identify values and adopt them, along with indicators, as a congregation.

The sessions will include case studies, break out rooms for discussion and plenty of room for thought.

When you finish this webinar, you will have:

• Explored the purpose and practical principles of developing church values and indicators
• Considered various frameworks for developing church values
• Identified the strengths and limitations of these frameworks within your context
• Designed an appropriate proces for developing and agreeing values and indicators within your church.

Who is it for: This training is specifically to help church leaders (clergy, lay ministers, and parish church council members or elders) develop a process for developing values and indicators within their congregations. It’s ideal for those who have completed our First Steps training course but most churches will benefit from this training.

Course Hosts: Rev Tina Hodgett and Rev Greg Bakker (Pioneering Parishes).

Time: 10.00am to 1.00pm

Venue: Online via Zoom

Cost: £10 per person. If you bring a team, the maximum your church will pay is for three spaces (£30), any additional participants are free.
