Training Tuesdays

Training Tuesdays

Training Tuesdays is an online training experience to inspire and equip local church leaders to connect more people with Jesus. Using Zoom, leaders connect from 7 to 8:30 p.m. to learn from an expert about a topic that helps 100% of our congregations to become 100% vital.

The calls are videotaped and can be accessed later -- along with handouts -- in a searchable resource area or as a YouTube Playlist.
