What does transforming leadership look like for Pastor Prince Rivers?
Note: What is the impact of the Transforming Center in the lives of leaders? Prince Rivers, Senior Pastor at United Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church, reflects on his Transforming Community® experience.
I have been a pastor for 15 years. Most pastors spend the majority of their time pouring out without ever having anyone pour into them. The Transforming Community experience has been like a well of living water.
It is changing…
• The way I lead (discernment rather than decision-making)
• The way I pray
• The way I am present with my family
• The way I engage the scriptures I preach
• The way I focus my energies and choose my priorities
All of this results in positive changes in the church that I serve as pastor.
