SUMMARY:Navigating Ministry in an Era of Change: Leadership\, Resilience\, and Adaptive Skills (UCC)
DESCRIPTION:Navigating Ministry in an Era of Change: Leadership\, Resilience\, and Adaptive Skills (UCC Webinar) \n\n\n\n\n\nAug 5\, 2026 01:00 PM  MT\nRegister here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/blpjbia_SLax0hb8wdBzoQ#/registration\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRetirement readiness is a cornerstone of adaptive\, sustainable leadership. In a ministry landscape defined by shifting expectations\, multi-vocational realities\, and increasing demands\, leaders who plan for long-term financial and vocational wellbeing are better equipped to serve with clarity\, confidence\, and resilience. Preparing for the future isn’t just a financial task—it’s a leadership discipline that supports emotional\, spiritual\, and organizational stability.

SUMMARY:Deescalation and Marshal Training
DESCRIPTION:Deescalation and Marshal Training\nWhen: Saturday\, August 8th\, 12:00 – 4:00 pm \nCost: FREE\, The Mutual Aid Sanctuary and Colorado Clergy Alliance are sponsoring this training. \nWho: This training is offered for clergy\, lay leaders\, and community members who want to attend and support CCA public actions; prepare for the Protect Our Vote campaign; and learn transferable skills for congregational\, community\, and public life. \nRegister here\, by Friday\, August 7\, at noon. \nLocation: South Broadway Christian Church\, 23 Lincoln St\, Denver. This is an in-person training only. \nFree parking is available in the church parking lot. We will be meeting in an air conditioned room. Drinks and snacks will be provided. This church is accessible and open and affirming to LGBTQ+ individuals and families. \nAbout the Training: \nCCA and MAS are committed to our collective safety\, the safety of those being targeted\, and the wider community. This requires us to work together to build a collective culture of and the skills for spiritually- and faith-engaged nonviolence\, peaceful resistance\, and deescalation. \nThis training offers up-to-date information about what public action looks like right now in Colorado and across the country\, and will include:\n \n\nSpiritually- and faith-engaged culture building focused on our practice of collective values\, nonviolence\, and public witness;\nReviewing common roles in direct action;\nProtester rights when interacting with law enforcement;\nSafety considerations;\nMarshaling strategies;\nDeescalation tools; and\nBasic health and safety at public actions.\n\n  \nThe role of marshals is to facilitate the planned CCA action while ensuring the health and safety of those involved. This is a serious and important role. When you are a marshal\, you will communicate between action leaders\, safety team members\, and participants; deescalate interactions with bystanders; and maintain the safety of the action. \nWhether you ultimately sign up to be a CCA Marshal\, we all need to learn how marshaling works in public actions to cocreate safe actions for ourselves and the wider community. \nTrainer: Z Williams (thy/them) is the director and co-founder of Bread and Roses Legal Center\, which exists to disrupt the harms the legal system causes people and their communities. They have a 28-year history as a grassroots community organizer working at the intersection of gender\, race\, class\, and the carceral legal system. At Bread and Roses\, Z has organized to pass pro-trans policies including Tiara’s Law\, the Kelly Loving Act\, and Legal Protections for the Dignity of Minors. They are also a co-founder of the Protest Defense Committee––a collective of legal workers\, attorneys\, and lawyers that fight political repression. In addition to organizing and anti-repression work\, Z is a long time street medic and community herbalist. Z is a graduate of the Sturm College of Law and a PhD student in Transformative Social Change at Saybrook University.

DESCRIPTION:Leading Together: A Training for Congregational Moderators — August 17th & 25th\, 2026 (via Zoom) — Register here by August 10th!\nThis two-session introductory course explores the role of moderators and congregational leadership\, why congregational leadership is different from other leadership contexts\, and how to navigate the relational and interpersonal dynamics that come with the work.

Additional workshops on topics such as communication\, conflict\, meetings\, change leadership\, and congregational systems will be offered separately later on in 2026 and 2027. Register on Zeffy by August 10th! Although the training is specifically geared toward church moderators\, any and all lay leaders are welcome to attend.
