Pastors’ Forum at the Resource Center for Pastoral Leadership of SNU

Oct 21, 2016 | Blog, Leadership, Pastor

Enjoyed returning to the beautiful Southern Nazarene University campus recently to participate in a Pastors’ Forum at the Resource Center for Pastoral Leadership of SNU. Dr. Stan Toler is the executive director of the Resource Center.

The three-hour Forum included pastors, district leaders and students in the conference auditorium along with pastors and district leaders participating in the Forum at district centers across the South Central region, Church of the Nazarene. Other pastors joined the Forum via internet live streaming.

The Forum theme was “Five Non-negotiables for Healthy Local Church Boards.” You can access the Forum PowerPoint presentation at the following link.

It was a delight and privilege to join Drs. Terry and Stan Toler at the Forum. Returning to the campus and speaking with SNU president, Dr. Loren Gresham, brought back many good memories of my tenure as faculty member at Bethany Nazarene College (now SNU)! The brief visit to campus was truly a trip down memory lane.  Very enjoyable. Hopefully, the Forum was significant to the pastors participating in the Forum.
