JPD Facilitators Program

A team of trained facilitators, many of whom work professionally in the fields of teambuilding and problem solving, provide services to JPD congregations for board, committee and congregational retreats and meetings.  Many participants have written about how helpful it was to have a facilitated retreat when a new Board of Trustees or Search Committee is beginning to work.  The facilitator program is supported by the JPD and costs are very reasonable to a congregation.  To schedule a facilitator, contact the Program Coordinator or the JPD office.
