Description
This foundational workshop explores the principles of F.I.S.H. (Faith, Intellectual, Social, and Human Capital), as outlined in our book, Fishing Differently: Ministry Formation in the Marketplace. Participants explore how and why addressing varied perceptions of shared circumstances assists congregations to pivot from a maintenance mindset toward harnessing the power of their assets as catalysts for communal transformation and economic renewal. Workshop participants actively explore how recognizing and employing the collective gifts, talents, and missional intentions within their congregation expands their capacity for social impact. Participants explore the benefits of how broadening their social networks, and gaining support from non-traditional allies, exponentially expands the scope and depth of a congregation’s missional vision, social impact, and the transformational influence they have in the lives of individuals within their community.
