Shema partners with churches, ministries, schools, and leadership teams to create focused spaces for the workbeneath the work of ministry. Through retreats, workshops, and speaking, we help leaders become more deeplyrooted in communion with Christ, more fully themselves, and better able to serve from a place of spiritual healthand integrity.
Each partnership is shaped by your people, setting, and purpose. We can build something around a particular needor adapt material Shema has already developed.
Create meaningful space away from ordinary demands for prayer, reflection, honest conversation, and renewed attention to God. Shema designs and leads half-day, full-day, and multi-session retreats for ministry teams, leadership communities, and Christian formation programs.
Current retreat pathways can be built around spiritual formation and issues of identity, vocation, or culture — the three movements of Shema’s core formation framework.
Engage a focused theological, spiritual, or leadership question through substantive teaching, guided reflection, and practical integration. Workshops and seminars may stand alone or complement a larger gathering, staff development process, or course of study.
Current areas of focus include:
• Identity, vocation, and organizational culture
• Prayer and identity: knowing God and knowing ourselves
• Shame
• Preaching for participation, not just information transfer
Invite Shema to contribute through guest preaching, a keynote or leadership gathering, classroom teaching, or asubstantive podcast conversation. Speaking engagements connect Christian spiritual formation with the lived demands of ministry, leadership, and life in the modern world.
The scope and investment for each partnership are shaped by its length, level of customization, preparation, and travel. Contact us to begin a conversation about your setting and needs.
Shema also partners with churches through a sustained formation process for pastors and ministry teams. This ongoing partnership combines shared formation, individual support, and practical integration over time to help spiritually healthy leaders cultivate spiritually healthy churches.
