You have been in ministry, now it is time to return to Gordon-Conwell for a chance to reflect and to gain new perspective on your first several years of ministry.
How have you made the transition?
What questions do you now have?
How has the ministry met your expectations?
What can Gordon-Conwell do to support you where you are?
This program is open to all alumni/ae of Gordon-Conwell from one to ten years in ministry.
This program is both intensive and informal. Spend time with your former classmates, who are now current partners in ministry, through...
Worship
Small group discussion (this program is intentionally limited to 15 participants)
Ministry assessment led by your former professors
We invite you to bring your questions, now wrapped in a ministry context, to the table, where you will have opportunity to interact with some of your favorite faculty.
