The Generous Heart

People of ministry know the benefit of drawing on the experience and study of leaders in a variety of areas of ministry. Below you will find a sampling of workshops Leisa has offered throughout the United States. Consider your needs, and contact me to discuss a workshop in your area.

Growing as an Engaged Community:

Recent studies offer dramatic insights into the ways in which people come into relationship with the community of believers, growing as spiritually committed individuals and transforming the parish. Explore the importance of engagement, a deep feeling of belonging, and consider ways we can more effectively draw people to Christ by becoming a more engaged and engaging community.

Forming Disciples as Stewards:

As people are formed as disciples and stewards, their lives begin to change, and so does the life of the parish community. Explore elements of faith formation that contribute to this living discipleship for all in the parish.

The Impact of Positive Leadership:

Collaboration in ministry is most effective when those involved share a common vision. Explore a theology and practice of collaboration that draws from careful study and successful pastoral practice. Build on each person's God-given talents to build effective partnerships, contributing in meaningful ways toward positive and lasting change.

Turning Hearts to Christ:

Explore the ways life within your parish can help people to turn their hearts to Christ, and to draw others to do the same. Learn how to form parish life that is evangelizing and leads people to live as good stewards, engaging them in a lifetime of faith.
