Concordia Seminary is adding three additional workshops to its 2026 Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop Series [1]. These three new workshops are part of a set of six new workshops in total that center on growing practical business skills and are co-sponsored and taught by faculty from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis and Concordia Theological Seminary [2], Fort Wayne, Ind., in collaboration with Batterman School of Business professors from Concordia University Wisconsin [3], Mequon, Wis.
These new workshops are in addition to the 16 Prof Insight workshops already being held at congregations across the United States. Designed for pastors, other church workers and laypeople, these new seminars will help participants strengthen strategic leadership and administrative skills useful for serving the Lord’s work in the field.
“I am thrilled to offer these additional Prof Insight workshops with practical themes to pastors and other church workers,” said Erika Petsch, director of Continuing Education. “These new additions are extra special as each workshop will be team taught with a business professor from Concordia University Wisconsin.”
These new workshops, which will be held on Concordia Seminary’s campus, are:
- “Faithful Time Stewardship: Leading Well in a Demanding Call” with Dr. Kevin Golden [4] (Concordia Seminary) and Dr. Joey-Lynn Bialkowski [5] (Concordia University Wisconsin), Aug. 31-Sept. 1, 2026.
- “Leading with Confidence in Congregations: Priniciples of Faithful Financial Management” with Dr. Mart Thompson [6] (Concordia Seminary) and Dr. Kim Schave [7] (Concordia University Wisconsin), Sept. 29-30, 2026.
- “From Vision to Ministry: Strategic Leadership for Congregations” with Dr. David Peter [8] (Concordia Seminary) and Dr. Steven Schave [9] (Concordia University Wisconsin), Nov. 9-10, 2026.
The fee for each new workshop is $100, reflecting special introductory pricing, and includes Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits for pastors. Registration and payment should be made no later than 14 days before the beginning of each workshop.
Additional information about these workshops, including a schedule and registration information, is available on the Prof Insights webpage [1]. Check back for information on the three workshops to be hosted by Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne.
