- Session One: Describes what systemic transformation means, why it is crucial and basic assumptions that must be embraced for transformation to occur.

- Session Three: Demonstrates how mission and vision fit together to produce a change in ministries and the setting of overarching goals to reach the community. Instruction is provided for how to help guests find meaningful relationships that cause them to connect with others in the congregation, in order to join in advancing the mission and vision.
