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.

Upcoming Webinars:

Nov. 29 - Multiply Your Impact: Measure What Matters

Jan. 10 – Change Management

Training Tuesdays - Live and Love like Jesus

Nov. 15, 2022

Living and loving like Jesus moves us from the seats to the streets as we take the gospel beyond the walls of our buildings. Once we are outside the four walls of our buildings, we are called to proclaim good news to the poor, heal the heartbroken, set the oppressed free, and comfort all who mourn. Join us as we learn what this looks like in our various contexts.
