Create Safe Places, Safe Times, and Safe People for Your Leadership

What does work—and for the long haul—are Mentoring Communities.

You’ll learn how to get started with Mentoring Communities and why the three keys are imperative to success. Used in organizations and ministries around the world, Mentoring Communities will strengthen the productivity and spiritual formation of your leaders. The principles presented in this webinar are based on the new book by MaryKate Morse: Lifelong Leadership: Woven Together through Mentoring Communities.

Anyone in ministry leadership knows how lonely it can be. Seminary training and giftedness—vital as they are—are not enough to spare leaders from problems and challenges they didn’t see coming or those dark nights of the soul they must keep to themselves. Lifelong Leadership is a godsend. You hold in your hands a step-by-step, practical guide to create and launch a Mentoring Community—a time-tested practice that has been used globally to end leadership isolation and that benefits emerging leaders with the wisdom and support they long for and need.
