Thank you from a pastor in a rural town who truly appreciates the resources you are offering. Your resources lifted a load from my shoulders in a time when I needed one lifted. Thank you for your kindness; this pastor appreciates it. God bless you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are shifting so much to meet the needs of our community during this time that we have really been stretching our staff resources. I am so grateful for your willingness to share – not just the content, but also the time it took just to reply (and so quickly!)! Really, thanks!

ShareChurch is such a valuable resource to us all. I find that I access it first on many topics just to begin my research, or to confirm if we are on the right track on a number of topics. Thank you and COR for providing this to us all.
Nancy L.
Loved this training. It gave shape to some of what I’ve been dreaming about congregational care for my church over the last few years and now I’m ready to begin to work as I continue to dream.
Dakotas Attendee
Karen and team, thank you for giving yourself to this transformative work. It is very obviously a labor of love. I’m also grateful for how meticulous you are in your preparation.
Florida Attendee
Thank you for leading an excellent seminar. You pack a lot of great information and inspiration into a short amount of time. The strategy for creating a care team was relevant for churches of all sizes.
Tom Brady, KC District Superintendent, The United Methodist Church
In her role overseeing the care of 18,000 parishioners at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection, Karen Lampe has developed what many consider to be the best congregational care practices in the United States… and will dramatically improve the quality of pastoral care while engaging laity in ways that will enrich and bless them and those they care for.
Adam Hamilton, Senior Pastor, Resurrection, A United Methodist Church
Thanks for putting together such an accessible, relevant, professional and Spirit-led curriculum for assisting churches in ministering to our congregants. I knew at the outset of this journey that I couldn’t and didn’t want to be a “Lone Ranger” pastor doing this all by myself, so this pastor/lay team approach is perfect.
Roger Allen, West Valley Church of the Nazarene, Yakima, Washington
The network impact can be found all over my ministry and leadership. From heathy boundaries and self care to stewardship and empowering laity, it has been one of the strongest influences on everything I do as a senior pastor. For any young pastor, this opportunity is one of the most helpful resources you will receive outside of seminary. It is an experience you cannot pass up!
Jacob Lynn
It was the experience I credit with forming me into the leader I am today. The time with successful and spiritual leaders and being able to interact with them in their home churches still informs my role as a conference NCD director.
Kim Pope-Seiberling
At the time, I was a young pastor serving my first full-time appointment, feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and alone, as many in that position do. But this network offered me hope – a hope that has sustained me to this day. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I wouldn’t hesitate! The Emerging Clergy Network was truly an opportunity of a lifetime – one that continues to bless me and those I serve, even after more than a decade.
William Nickrand
For me this was an “iron sharpens iron” type of community where my vision, passion, leadership and faith grew with each conversation and teaching. In a system where young leaders can feel very alone and often discounted, this opportunity provided connection, support and empowerment that has carried me through my ministry career and beyond.
Dave Hood
The opportunity to learn from effective leaders with track records was invaluable. And, their humility was inspiring. I have a vivid memory of Adam talking to me like I was an equal peer and not someone at the beginning of the ministry journey. It was also great to meet pastors in similar settings in other conferences. It was very encouraging to get their feedback and advice.
Stephen Walters
Being in the Network gave me the skills to serve churches in a way that helps them to recognize and respond to God’s vision for such a time as this. It also gave me connections across the United Methodist Church with young colleagues who are doing amazing Kingdom work!
Michelle Bodle
The Network was the most practical continuing education I have ever had. It prepared me for leading churches in practical and relevant ways that I am able to apply to every aspect of ministry.
B.T. Gilligan
My experience in the Network instilled in me leadership principles, decades of large church leadership wisdom, and a network of relationships and connections that I draw upon daily.
Will Lauderback
Being part of the Network gave me the courage to take risks and step boldly into new realms of ministry, reshaping my calling in ways that continually amaze me.
Rachel Billups
I went through the Network gatherings ten years ago and it’s still showing up in my ministry life today. I’m so grateful for the investment in future ministry!
Jenny Smith
Through this program, I gained deep gratitude for Adam and Mike’s mentorship, holy boldness in stewarding God-given vision, and lasting relationships with colleagues across the country.
