Back Again by Popular Demand: “Effective Congregation Council” Training

Thrive! Goal #1 is “Equipping Lay Leaders.” Through this goal: “The Synod will be seen as leading and providing networks through which lay leaders will be more highly equipped for leadership within their congregations, be more effective in their communities, and thrive in their ministries.”

Equip your congregation council to lead your congregation into the next year and years to come with this Congregation Council training that will turn everything you ever thought a council should be into everything you ever hoped a council would be!

 

Advent and other lectionary topic videos available to SOS Congregations free of charge!
