Wise Practice

Every May, after classes end but before graduation, we bring in outside leaders to resource what our graduates told us were three key areas in which they had not received enough grounding: stewardship and finance, conflict, and the “sacramental ministries”—how Disciples do weddings, baptisms, and funerals. Wise Practice is always led by experienced and expert ministers and leaders. In addition, the current pastoral residents in the Congregational Immersion project return to teach on what they are learning in their first years of experience as full-time in ministry.
