10 May Five UB Senior Pastors Begin CECL Training

This year senior pastors were given the option, in place of regular cluster meetings, of taking training through the Center for Excellence in Congregational Leadership. This is a demanding two-year program.

A group of five UB pastors will begin the training today. They are now on their way to Green Lakes, Wiss., for the first of five classes they will attend over the next two years. The sessions begin tonight (May 10) and continue all week on the subject “Personal and Pastoral Integrity: The Key to Sustaining Pastoral Excellence.”

The five pastors are:

• Josh Kesler (The Well, Huntington, Ind.).
• Gary Dilley (College Park Church, Huntington, Ind.).
• Gary Reiber (Union Chapel, Fort Wayne, Ind.).
• Les Smith (Hillsdale UB, Hillsdale, Mich.).
• Steve Fish (Shoreline Church, Oak Harbor, Ohio).
