Consecutive Programs

Most of the Appreciative Inquiry programs are followed by a specialized program that uses appreciative inquiry such as Clergy Coaching, Interim Ministry, or Congregational Development. You do not need to do the full week if you only wish take the appreciative inquiry portion. Because the follow-up programs are based on the material presented in the introduction to appreciative inquiry program attendance at the appreciative inquiry training or a prior program offered by the Clergy Leadership Institute is required.
