From “I” to “We”: A New Vision for Church Leadership and Community
The Path from “I” to “We”: Reimagining Church Leadership and Community
Free webinar | Monday, June 2, 2025 | 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. CT
How can churches respond faithfully and creatively in a time of uncertainty? What happens when ministry shifts from solo leadership to shared spiritual discovery? And how might the church thrive again—not by choosing between tradition and innovation, but by blending them?
Join The Rev. Dr. Dwight Zscheile and The Rev. Blair Pogue for a free one-hour webinar on Monday, June 2 at 11:30 a.m. CT, hosted by Dr. Alicia Granholm of Faith+Lead. This conversation marks the launch of their new book, Embracing the Mixed Ecology: Inherited and New Forms of Christian Community Flourishing Together.
Rooted in the gospel and responsive to today’s moment, this webinar will offer:
A deep dive into what the “mixed ecology of church” means and why it matters now
Real stories of congregations reimagining ministry in partnership with their neighbors
Encouragement for pastors and leaders who feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to move forward
Practical ways to experiment with new ministry models without starting from scratch
This is an invitation to stop going it alone—and to rediscover what God is doing with us and around us.
The Rev. Blair Pogue, Canon for Vitality and Innovation in the Episcopal Church in Minnesota, brings wisdom from her years in parish ministry and her doctoral work at Luther Seminary. The Rev. Dr. Dwight Zscheile, Vice President of Innovation at Luther Seminary, offers both research and lived experience to help us think theologically and practically about what’s next.
Whether you’re clergy, a lay leader, or someone with a heart for the future of the church, you’re invited to register at the link below. A replay will be available to all who register.
