Is Your Church Training People for Ministry?
Leadership Network is doing research on churches
that run programs, residencies, or internships
to train people for church-based ministry. The
focus could range from high schoolers, college
and seminary students, mid-career professionals
and even older adults. If your church has a
major emphasis on training people for ministry,
please drop an email to Gifty
Foster with the name of the person responsible
for such a ministry.
