Ministry in the Trenches: Trauma-Informed Ministry in Urban Oakland
Patten University 2433 Coolidge Avenue, Oakland, CA, United StatesAs pastors and community leaders, what do we do when trauma just looks like our lives? Many groups across the country are pushing for trauma-informed ministry: serving from a perspective that acknowledges the impact of trauma. However, not all traumas and contexts are equal. This one-day workshop is designed to equip and empower local Christian leaders in Oakland and the greater Bay Area to serve communities impacted by repeated, systemic trauma (including community violence and the results of systemic inequality). Attendees will learn to understand, recognize, and respond to trauma. In continuation of the emphasis on equipping and empowerment, this workshop will be followed by opportunities and additional resources to further develop trauma knowledge as well as develop local connections with other leaders and appropriate public services. A light continental breakfast and lunch will be provided for attendees. FREE, Registration Required | http://bit.ly/2oJUqnO
Exchange Leadership Conference
Beebe Memorial Cathedral 3900 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA, United Stateshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FaQPfhUDKA The Exchange Leadership Conference is dedicated to developing global leaders with a local focus by exchanging broken practices for exceptional principles. Our goal is to take your ministry to the next dimension by strengthening your existing skills and helping you acquire skills that may be missing or outdated. During this two-day conference, our Hosts, Speakers and Staff will provide a safe and engaging atmosphere for leaders who lack exposure, to gain the exposure necessary to affect healthy transformation within your ministry, office or organization. It is my prayer for us to rethink and reimagine leadership in a way that brings purpose to what you know and what you do. More importantly, I pray that you will leave this conference committed to seeing new possibilities to lead and administrate efficiently! Sincerely, Dr. Charley Hames, Jr. Conference Host, Pastor, Author & Speaker Beebe Memorial Cathedral For details and information, visit: http://exchangeconference.org
