The Grow in Grace Professional Development Plan (PDP) on MyWELS Cloud can be updated at any time. We encourage pastors to review and update their PDP each summer when updating their WELS profile and to discuss it at their first circuit meeting of the fall.

The PDP benefits both pastors and Grow in Grace. It encourages thoughtful planning for continued growth in ministry while helping Grow in Grace plan, produce, and promote resources, courses, and events that will best serve pastors across the synod.

Circuit pastors and all pastors, please consider setting aside thirty minutes to an hour at your first fall circuit meeting to update and discuss your PDPs. Pairing up for this exercise can lead to fruitful discussion, idea sharing, and mutual accountability.
