Stan Dueck will retire as director of Formation Leadership for the Church of the Brethren, effective July 31.
He began his service to the denomination on June 21, 1999, as the Congregational Life Team member for Area 1. Over the years, he has coached pastors, consulted with congregations, helped districts plan and develop goals, led deacon training seminars, and served in numerous other ways. He convened the New Church Advisory Committee and planned the New and Renew Conference multiple times. As a life-long learner, he has always been committed to professional growth and expanding the skills with which he serves the church. Most recently, he completed Kingian Nonviolence Trainer certification.
“We are grateful to Stan for his contributions to more than 25 years of service to the denomination,” said an announcement. “We wish him well as he prepares for retirement and embarks in his new journey.”
