PLAN IT: Better Planning = Better Ministry
Faculty: Lyle Griner, Peer Ministry Executive Director
Course Description:
PLAN IT? Programs planned for a year+ in advance? Know why you do what you do? Plan for taking better self care, balanced programs and tools you will use for years to come. Come for a room filled with people from whom to steal ideas. This is what PLAN IT is about! This ICC will be a guided experience for faith formation leaders resulting in your one-year+ calendar plan! Review ministry lenses, outline themes, develop leadership plans, and work on your own wellness. One participant said: "Usually I go to a workshop and get one or two usable ideas. All the content from PLAN IT is applicable and usable!”
Curriculum Deep Dive: How to Assess, Reconfigure, Plan, and Contextualize Curriculum for Ministry
Faculty: Dr. Dawn Rundman, Director for Congregational Development and Marketing at 1517 Media
Course Description:
Curriculum. Maybe you’ve purchased it from a publisher or an entrepreneurial individual, downloaded free online versions, written your own, or accessed curriculum in all of these ways. If you select or create curriculum in your ministry role and want to explore this pedagogical topic with other leaders, this deep dive is for you. We’ll define curriculum, identify what curriculum is (and isn’t), develop tools for assessing curriculum designed for children and youth, and identify the contextual factors shaping how to execute curriculum in different settings, including yours! We’ll form a learning community as we learn, experiment, and dream together.

Youth Ministry professionals are often on the frontlines navigating crises and carrying heavy loads. In this ICC, we will be exploring topics such as Adverse Childhood Experiences and how using a trauma-informed lens can help better understand programming needs for youth and families and build healthy relationships. Throughout this hands-on intensive, we will be weaving in doable self-care practices. You also will be equipped with tools to help you better respond to the unexpected, accompany youth and families through difficult times, and an opportunity to develop a mental health and wellness action plan for yourself and your ministry setting
