Leadership Training

 

As an outgrowth of our First Priority strategy plan, we are seeking to meet the needs of the churches. Our goal is to provide service where you live. We have prepared a list, including contact information, of persons from around the state who are available to come to you to provide training for your church membership and church leaders.

You will notice the wide variety of topics and age groups that are listed below; however, we are not limited to these topics.  Please tell us your needs, and we will seek to assist you in finding the appropriate training and resource people for your church. The list is an example of the training available rather than an exhaustive list.

Contact the Leadership Development Team for a list of trainers available.  We will provide contact information so you can talk directly with the trainers. If trainers are not listed from you area of the state, we will seek to find persons who are located closer to you.  Let us know if you need financial assistance for you training event.  After the event, we would appreciate your giving us feed-back on how the training went, and how we could improve our Leadership Development services in the future.
