Samford to host ‘hinge moments’ seminar for clergy, congregations

Clergy and congregations experience “hinge moments” when they face decisions about challenges and opportunities. How they respond determines if they will continue to have thriving ministries.

Hinge Moments: Swinging Toward Vital Ministry, a one-day seminar at Samford University in Birmingham on April 4, will provide practical resources that help clergy and congregations address these strategic occasions in proactive and creative ways.

Sponsored by Samford’s Resource Center for Pastoral Excellence (RCPE), the program is scheduled for 9 a.m.–3:30 p.m. in Samford’s Beeson Divinity Hall.

Presenters will include Pastor Gary Furr of Vestavia Hills Baptist Church; President Bill Wilson and Interactive Communications Coordinator Natalie Aho of the Center for Congregational Health; President and Principal Allen Walworth, Vice Presidents Gary Ealy and Brad Leeper and Senior Strategist Alan Wildes of Generis; Leadership Strategist Mike Tate of Humana Resource Management Inc.; President Andrew Westmoreland of Samford; and Program Director Michael Wilson of RCPE.
