Change can be very troubling for many people in a congregation. And sometimes also for the pastor! There are often multiple reasons for this fear of change. These fears are real, and in this session we will examine them and attempt to understand them. However, it is also very important not to let these fears prevent changes for the better. This session will therefore suggest ways by which the reticence to change can be overcome so that the whole body of believers in a local church will be able to move forward together.
