This course is part of the Wabash Valley Presbytery Ruling Elder program. In this course we will study the often unseen congregational dynamics the affect the life of a congregation. Special attention will be given to the nature of congregations as a particular model of the Church. By reading the course textbook, The Hidden Lives of Congregations by Israel Galindo, participating in guided discussions, reflecting on your personal experience, and examining latent concepts and assumptions about congregations, Church, and leadership, you will gain a new understanding of your congregation and your leadership roles.
