Leadership Formation Day

2024 Leadership Formation will prepare teachers, volunteers, and leaders for the upcoming 2024-2025 year of ministry at Tenth! The theme this year is "Restore" based on Psalm 23.  

Leadership Formation Day is a training time set aside for ordained and lay leaders in the church to come and learn together in order that we would all pull together well in the same direction. This year's training focuses on discipleship—how do we work together to help Tenth become a church that is increasingly formed by discipleship? This time together will be profitable not only for your ministry, but also for your own soul. Leadership Formation Day is open to everyone—not just for established leaders. If you have someone who would like to be a leader, or someone who would benefit from thinking more deliberately about discipleship, please invite them to register!

A Continental Breakfast and Lunch are included. 

Childcare is available; please sign your kids up here
