Workshops

One of the ways in which the Elders' Institute seeks to fulfil its mission is through workshops, also called "On-the-Road" courses.

Through workshops, the Elders' Institute works in partnership with presbyteries, congregations and synods to provide training and educational opportunities for ruling elders, ministers/teaching elders, lay leaders, pew folks and friends of the Presbyterian Church. This training can take the form of a conference, retreat or workshop.

The local partner arranges for facilities, takes registrations, and works with the Elders' Institute to develop that particular workshop and produce resources and publicity material. The Elders' Institute provides some or all of the leadership for the workshop.

A flat rate, fair share fee system based on $600 per day regardless of location or type of workshop is used. The Elders' Institute covers all travel expenses.

If you would like to arrange a workshop in your congregation or presbytery, please contact the Elders' Institute. (See Staff & Contacts for contact information.) Learn more about planning a workshop on the Planning page.
