Ministry is about coming alongside those to whom we minister in the messiness of life - messiness that takes us to deep and profound places. In this context, it can be challenging to define and set boundaries; yet, to do so is critical for healthy relationships.

This is one day refresher course and will support leaders who wish to establish healthy boundaries and safe and respectful congregational culture in the context of ministry.
