There's an abundance of ministry expertise in our Church, and we want to make it accessible and affordable to the people of our congregations.
We want to support our members in their outreach and congregational ministries:
 |
Create a web-based ministry center where they can find the resources they need
|
|
Provide them with practical, concrete training and information they can use
|
|
Connect them with others in ministry across the Church
|
|
Reach people who want to explore a topic but who might never attend an in-person conference due to cost, travel or time constraints
|
|
Support people in dioceses which don't have extensive programs or training resources
|
|
Support people in small or rural congregations by giving them greater access to learning opportunities
