CHICAGO, IL (March 31, 2016) — North Park Theological Seminary will present a free webinar, “Vocation and Transition: Coping with Change in Ministry,” from noon until 1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13.

Elizabeth-PierreViewers can watch here.

Elizabeth Pierre, seminary teaching fellow in pastoral care, will facilitate the event. Pierre said that even good transitions in ministry can be difficult. The webinar is designed to help pastors learn how to navigate the many moving pieces.

An online moderator will be available so that viewers watching online can submit questions by text during the webinar. The moderator will then ask the questions on their behalf.

People also can attend the event in person, which will be held in room N25 of Nyvall Hall.

Funding for the event was provided through a grant from the Good Shepherd Initiative, a ministry of the Evangelical Covenant Church. Congregations or individuals who wish to support the ministry may donate tax-deductible checks made out to “Evangelical Covenant Church” with a cover note and annotation in the memo section “For Good Shepherd Initiative” and mail them to: Treasurer, Evangelical Covenant Church, 8303 W. Higgins Road, Chicago, IL 60631.
