Welcome to CcNet

Welcome to CcNet on Facebook! The CcNet Facebook page is offered for our Clergy Clients & their Congregational Leadership Teams from all religious traditions.  While the public is welcome to see this page, please remember that our posts are selected to address the concerns identified by our clergy clients.

The three-part mission of this Facebook page:

To CHALLENGE, EQUIP AND INSPIRE our clergy clients and their congregational leaders for transformational leadership in an ever-changing world.  We will do this by sharing relevant articles, book reviews, research, quotes, sermon ideas and illustrations, sharable memes, and occasionally a bit of humor about human nature, theology, or congregational life.

To ARTICULATE A VISION FOR FAITHFUL CONGREGATIONS. This may include but is not limited to Worship, Community, Hospitality, Discipleship, Inclusiveness, Evangelism, Social/Biblical Justice, Congregational Care, Service, and Leadership Development.

To INVITE CLERGY AND CONGREGATIONAL LEADERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR COACHING SERVICES. We hope that clergy and congregational leadership teams will seek to employ one of our well-trained clergy coaches to assist them in their leadership and ministry.  Our coaching services are available to leaders of all religious traditions.  Learn more at http://www.clergycoachingnetwork.com

At present our coaching services are limited to clergy and congregational leaders in North America.  

Posts on this page come from a variety of perspectives and seek to address the issues, challenges, and opportunities facing clergy, faith leaders, congregations, and the communities in which they minister.  While we do not coach thorough our Facebook posts, most of our posts are selected to address the concerns identified by our clergy clients. Because our clergy clients are diverse, some of our posts will confirm what you already think. Others will challenge assumptions and invite the exploration of new possibilities.  

If you are uncomfortable with posts coming from a variety of points of view or religious perspectives(conservative, moderate, and progressive, sacred, and secular), this may not be the page for you.

COMMENT GUIDELINES: 

If you choose to comment on a post, we ask you to familiarize yourself with our mission and follow these Comment Guidelines. (By “liking” or “following” this page, you are agreeing to abide by these guidelines.)

• As people of faith, we are called to a higher standard than the vitriol that often shows up in some Facebook comments.
• Always read a complete article before making a comment. Commenting on a headline, a tag-line or picture, without reading the article, perpetuates the shallow thinking that dominates much of social media. When it is obvious that the commenter has not read the article, the comment will be deleted.
• Please, no personal attacks. Comment on ideas, not people. We remove comments that contain hate speech, content that targets individuals or groups to degrade or shame them, and repeated unwanted messages. As always, profanity, conspiracy theories and misinformation are unwelcome on this page.  
• Please stay on topic. Keep the conversation thread focused on the article, the meme or the subject presented. Comments that seek to “hijack” the conversation will be hidden or deleted. 
• Advertisements or solicitations, posted as comments, will always be deleted and the person or organization posting such will lose the privilege of commenting on this page.  

Remember! When you “like or follow” this Facebook page, you are agreeing to these guidelines.  We reserve the right to prohibit persons or groups from commenting on this page when these guidelines are ignored!
