Equipping Volunteers to Care for the Congregation

As a part of the body of Christ, we are called to care for one another. Providing this care is often more effectively provided by a team. In this workshop, you will learn techniques for training, organizing and deploying individuals as a team to care for members of the congregation.

Teach Me How to Pray

Take prayer to the next level in your congregation.  Prayer is part of Christian life, yet it is often times assumed or overlooked.  This workshop will cover the ways prayer intersects with current ministries, including congregational prayer tools.  Also covered will be classes such as Praying Out Loud, Prayer 101 and small group resources.  We will also share policies and procedures on prayer requests within a congregation.
