In partnership with Convergence

The Alliance is proud to partner with Convergence to provide an opportunity for clergy to complete boundary training. The curriculum, developed and hosted by Convergence, provides a wide range of topics for clergy to consider as they minister in a changing world.

The congregational nature of the Baptist tradition often means little oversight or personal development opportunities. By partnering with Convergence, the Alliance is hoping to bridge that gap by offering a full curriculum at a discounted rate to clergy serving in Baptist settings. You will learn about the need for and management of excellent boundaries.

Each unit will contain specific learning objectives, reflections based on theological foundations, case studies, best practices and video interactions.

  • Boundaries in Pastoral Relationships with Adults
  • Boundaries in Pastoral Relationships with Children & Youth
  • Boundaries with Finances and Church Business
  • Boundaries with Social Media
  • Boundaries for Self-Care

Participants will capture key learnings from each unit and write a 400-600 word reflection at the conclusion of the course.
