Faith Formation 2020 Leadership

Faith Formation 2020 presents new challenges for leaders and requires particular knowledge and skill for effective leadership. We have identified six of the most important competencies necessary for leading a congregation’s Faith Formation 2020 plan and implementation. These six competencies have been selected because of their relevance to the designing, implementing, and leading Faith Formation 2020 in a church. The six leadership competencies include: 

1. Becoming an Adaptive Leader
   
2. Becoming an Innovative Leader
   
3. Becoming a “Blue Ocean” Leader
   
4. Becoming a Change Leader 
   
5. Becoming a Culturally Intelligent Leader
   
6. Becoming a Curator of Content
