Tending the Fire is a Retreat Series focused on understanding church & organizations through the lens of Systems Theory.   Human systems are complicated and churches are no exception.  At their best, they draw out excellence in their people.  At their worst, they become stuck--undermining and sabotaging even the most well-designed plans for change.  Tending the Fire helps clergy "think systems" in their congregations and their personal lives, so they can lead change that lasts.

Tending the Fire is now part of the Together We Thrive initiative.  Learn more
