The Foundational Leadership Training is designed for church officers, committee and team leaders, and people engaged in various ministries of the church to provide foundational understanding and leadership skills. Two workshop sessions provide the opportunity for participants to choose different options to learn about their area of ministry and other more general leadership skills. All workshops will take place via ZOOM and are open to both clergy and laity. Please note that not all workshops are offered in both sessions. Pre-registration is required.
