Join us for a one-evening training zoom event, an opportunity for elders and deacons to worship, learn and reflect together on how to better serve Christ and the church through their offices.

Monday, March 28, 2022 5-8 PM

On zoom – link will be sent to all registrants 24 hours before the event.

Why is communication in congregations sometimes so challenging? How can we actually “speak the truth in love”?

Church leaders, pastors, and church members are invited to attend this workshop for helpful and thought-provoking information and discussion about dealing with differences of opinion and conflict.

Each class session will focus on one major book, or multiple shorter books, of the New Testament.

Assigned readings will provide the basis for in-depth analysis and discussion.

This distance learning video-conferencing course is required for those seeking to become a preaching elder or commissioned pastor. 

It is also open to all who wish to deepen their knowledge

and understanding of the New Testament.



Addition information will be provided when registration is completed.
