This session focuses on gift-based leadership, helping elders identify and use their God-given gifts and talents as part of a unified leadership team. It also addresses the elder’s role in board and business meetings, offering practical guidance for effective participation. Elders will learn how to work closely with the pastor to develop a strategic plan and clearly cast vision that inspires and aligns the local church with its mission.
Elder Shawn Shives is the Pennsylvania Conference Executive Secretary. He has also served in the Georgia-Cumberland Conference including pastoring an 800-member church and day academy which he founded prior to returning to Pennsylvania to serve as Assistant to the President and pastor of the Reading Hampden Heights Seventh-day Adventist Church.
