Illinois Mennonite Conference is committed to supporting and equipping healthy pastors for local Anabaptist/Mennonite Congregations. Part of that support and equipping is helping pastors maintain healthy boundaries as they navigate the maze of relationships within a ministry. On May 10 and 11, pastor Kristin Jackson (Living Water Community Church) and CEM Michael Danner (IMC), are attending training in Kansas City, MO for this task.

This training is led by FaithTrust Institute, in conjunction with MC USA. FaithTrust Institute leads the way in helping churches create safe spaces for all persons in the church. This two-day training will equip Kristin and Michael to lead the Healthy Boundaries 101 and 201 events for IMC pastors.  In January 2017, the IMC Church Life Team adopted a policy that makes this Healthy Boundary training a requirement for all credentialed leaders within IMC.

The next Healthy Boundaries training will be October 14, 2017, at First Mennonite Church of Champaign-Urbana. This training is free for all IMC credentialed leaders. Others are welcome to attend for the cost of course materials and lunch. (around $25).
