Our Impact

This congregational development teaching program focuses on developing the spiritual, community and organizational life of congregations. We equip participants with methods, skills, theories and self-awareness that teach how to intervene in faithfulness and health.

Do you ever wonder...how can my church grow?
  • What are my personal strengths and how do I use them?
  • What are different ways to survey the congregation?
  • How do other parishes make this work?
  • How do we make decisions that everyone can support?
  • I want to plan a productive meeting.
  • I need conflict management skills.
  • How do I develop new ministries?
  • How do we build community within our parish and our civic neighbors?
For a fresh perspective, peer learning and meaningful discussions about how to work in the parish you love, please join us. Your learning is greatly enhanced by attending DCDI with a parish team of 3-5 people. 
Our impact is noted in three areas. 
Individuals – in spiritual formation, expanding self awareness, leadership skills and ability to work in teams.
Congregations – in defining clarity of purpose, encouraging healthy dynamics and intentional development.
Diocese – in providing a common theory base, along with the tools and skills of congregational development that build a critical mass of healthy congregations.
