About Taking Clergy Mentoring to the Next Level
Through engaging video presentations and supplementary materials, Taking Clergy Mentoring to the Next Level is designed to help you become a more effective mentor by helping you understand how mentoring is part of our rich biblical and theological traditions, know the factors that contribute to a successful mentoring, become familiar with best practices and key commitments of mentoring, and understand mentoring as a leadership development tool.
The Lewis Center has conducted extensive research on the effectiveness of mentoring programs for those in their first years out of seminary. We have also done much work on the leadership development needs of younger clergy. Taking Clergy Mentoring to the Next Level is the result of that effort.
