Mission. Discipleship. Discernment. Leadership.
There are some things every ministry leader should know, regardless of role. Paradigms so fundamental that they shape every ministry of the church, and how each leader leads.
Whether your church is in a time of transition or stability, Thriving Essentials is a new way to get all the ministry leaders in your church—elders and deacons, volunteers and staff, newbies and old-timers—aligned on core concepts of mission, discipleship, discernment, and leadership. This four-hour course, offered via Zoom and in-person, provides refreshing insights and can serve as a springboard to deeper conversations about ministry in your local context.
