Discover Your God-Given Strengths for Ministry: StrengthsFinder® for Clergy

Are you looking to enhance your ministerial development by focusing on your unique talents and strengths? This one-day program, “StrengthsFinder® for Clergy,” offers a refreshing approach to personal and professional growth.

We’ll move away from traditional deficit-based development and instead explore what’s right with you, using the highly respected CliftonStrengths® (formerly StrengthsFinder®) profiling tool. Based on 40 years of Gallup research, this strengths-based approach helps you identify your natural talents and understand how to leverage them effectively in your ministry.

What you’ll gain:

A 25-page personalized report detailing your unique strengths and actionable insights.
A deeper understanding of strengths-based psychology and its theological foundations.
Practical strategies for using your strengths to enhance your growth, relationships, and well-being in ministry.
Facilitated by Ben Evans:

Ben is a Gallup-certified Strengths Coach with extensive experience in leadership, team, and organizational development. He has served as one of the Archbishops’ Advisors for Appointments and Development and is a Licensed Lay Minister in the Diocese of London with a master’s in theology.
