Workshops designed to equip leaders and teams with practical tools for everyday ministry.
Workshops
Partners in Ministry workshops are designed for the real world of church leadership. They offer focused, practical learning that helps leaders think clearly, name what’s going on, and take wise next steps in their context.
Each workshop blends thoughtful input, guided discussion, and practical tools shaped by research and long-term ministry experience. Sessions are interactive and grounded in real leadership challenges, led by experienced practitioners who understand the complexity of church life.
Workshops can be attended individually, or intentionally woven together as part of a longer leadership development journey.
Our workshops are listed below — each designed to support leaders in the season they’re currently navigating.

Church Leadership Academy
Leading Change Without Blowing Up the Church 302
Date: 20th May 2026
Location: Gateway Baptist Church – Mackenzie 1052 Mount Gravatt Capalaba Rd, Mackenzie QLD 4156
Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (final timing to be announced)
Most leaders know change is needed. Fewer know how to lead it without creating unnecessary fallout.
In church contexts, change isn’t just strategic — it’s personal. It touches identity, relationships, and people’s sense of what matters. What looks like resistance is often grief, fear, or uncertainty.
This workshop helps leaders understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, and how to lead change in a way that is both faithful and wise. This is about how leaders lead change — not just how to roll it out.
What you’ll explore
A biblical framework for change in ministry
The difference between change and transition, and why people struggle
How to recognise and respond to resistance
How conflict develops during change — and how to de-escalate it
How to build support and shared ownership across a church
What you’ll gain
By the end of the day, you’ll be able to:
Articulate a clear case for change
Read where people are in the change process
Respond to resistance with greater confidence
Lead change without unnecessarily damaging trust or unity
Who this is for
Church leaders navigating change, or preparing for it. Especially helpful if you’re thinking, “We need to change… but I don’t want to blow things up getting there.”
If you are buying more than one ticket, please email info@partnersinministry.com the names and emails of each attendee so we can ensure they receive all pre-read and information.

Our leadership packages offer a clear and considered way to plan your development rather than piecing support together as you go. Each package combines diagnostic insight with targeted development, helping you choose what best fits your role, your team and your church. These packages are designed to be explored in conversation and adapted to your context, so the support you receive is both intentional and appropriate.
