After a very well-received first event online in 2020, we are planning to run the next one in Keswick in October 2021.

Called to lead in the workplace, in a charity or in a church? In your 20’s or 30’s and wanting to make a greater difference for Christ? Wanting to learn from those who have been before and from one another?

The Emerging Leaders’ Workshop is a structured space for you to engage with Christ, to be inspired and better equipped to lead radically and authentically now and in the future.

Hearing God’s Word: Through biblical teaching, sung worship and input from one another, engage with vital biblical teaching on leadership and discipleship.

Become like God’s Son: Every part of the workshop is designed to help God’s Word take root in your life so your leadership is more Christlike.

The week will have a blend of individual and group exercises, teaching, individual and group coaching and mentoring, an outdoor activity and forging relationships.

There will be space and time:

• to slow down, and experience reflective practices through one-on-one coaching, group coaching and local mentoring.
• to take stock, to reflect on where you are and where you would like to be, by God’s grace.
• to regain strength, as you see afresh who you are in Christ and as you give and receive encouragement.
• to shape your future, as you consider the next steps to make a difference for Christ in the ministry God has for you.

Serve God’s Mission: Go from the workshop, inspired and better equipped to lead radically and authentically now and in the future, so you can make a difference.

This workshop is aimed at leaders in their 20’s and 30’s who are already leaders of churches, leaders in the corporate, public sector, voluntary sector and small businesses.

It will help you, in an immersive, open and supportive environment, to become more alive in your role, more secure in your identity, more invested in your character development and more influential in your relationships.

The workshop is being held as a partnership between Forge Consultancy and Keswick Ministries.

“Come prepared to be honest, open, challenged and changed and you will find that you meet Jesus in a new way, return refreshed and ready for your next challenge and look at the issues you face from a completely new perspective.” – Simon Barrington, founder and director of Forge Consultancy

Delegates will work closely with our coaches – individually and in groups – who will help leaders develop their own personal development plan based on Five I’s of Leadership: Intimacy with Jesus, Identity in Christ, Integrity of Character, Inner Strength and Influence. By the end of the week, delegates will have been supported to develop a personal development plan and will be partnered with other leaders to support them through the application.

The workshop format will be dynamic, interactive and transformative. It brings out and develops each individual’s gifting and addresses each individual’s situation, rather than giving a formulaic grid.
