Preparing to Handover

Easy
Short
Article

Work with your CU committee and your Leadership Network Partner (or the Theology Network Co-ordinator) to decide when to hand over the group to new leaders – ideally around the same time as other CU nominations.

(If you can begin handing over in time for your new leaders to attend Regional Forum in March with your CU's other leaders that is ideal)

Asking new leaders to serve

Are there theology students in your hub or in the CU who would lead well with a servant heart? Look out for them throughout the year and draw them into the vision of the group so that they get a taste for what leading it is like early on.

When you ask them to lead the hub next year, give them a copy of the Doctrinal Basis (DB) for them to reflect upon as they consider whether to accept.

Give them enough time to consider (a week is usually plenty) with a definite deadline by which to let you know. When they say yes, get them to sign a copy of the DB and give this to your Leadership Network Partner or the Theology Network Co-ordinator.

Training for new leaders

Regional and national Forum are key training opportunities for new leaders.

Regional Forum is an opportunity to learn about leading in the CU and getting to know the other CU leaders.

There will also be specific training for Theology Network hub leaders at national Forum in the summer. Encourage the new leaders of your hub to book on to these early.

If you have any questions or concerns about handover, don't hesistate to contact the Theology Network Coordinator.
