Shepherd Staff Affiliate

Ideal Affiliate

* Has meaningful relationships with pastors, churches, denominational networks, or faith-based organizations

* Understands the importance of healthy leadership transitions

* Is relational, trustworthy, and ministry-minded

* May be a pastor, denominational leader, consultant, ministry leader, nonprofit leader, or well-connected church advocate
