    A team is characterized by shared vision and leadership, definable goals, clear roles/responsibilities and an effective process.  Strong distinction is drawn in this module between the group as board or committee, and the differences from the qualities of a team.  Relationships displaying respect, trust, and enjoyment for one another are essential to a team.  A team also has a positive plan for addressing conflict.  Coaching teams requires the ability to build a strong sense of consensus, and the ability to handle such distractions as monopolizers, the withdrawn, and the angry.  Using ICF Core Competencies , this module addresses and supports the development of specific skills and tools for working most effectively with teams.

    Have you ever considered serving as a guide and encourager for a faith community in a role other than pastor or staff member? Have you looked for a different way to utilize your previous education, training and ministry experience to positively impact faith communities? Do you believe that you would find such work a meaningful ministry? If you can answer “Yes” to these questions, then you should consider training to become a consultant.  To meet this growing need for qualified consultants, the Center for Congregational Health has designed a process to train and develop consultants to work with faith communities.  The training seeks to integrate and utilize the best of biblical wisdom, spiritual insight, and healthy group dynamics in order to help faith communities and their leaders enhance their effectiveness in ministry.  The training consists of a five-day classroom experience, followed by individual fieldwork and a series of teleconferences.
