LEARNING COMMUNITIES
Learning Communities exist to
- Sharpen, encourage, and resource one another personally and professionally
- Collect and discuss best practices
- Finish the task of leading our family and ministry well
Each of our Learning Communities gathers differently. Monthly, bi-monthly, or even quarterly, you will join together in small groups online or in-person. These meetings are intentional with a leader and topics ready to discuss as well as group input of emerging issues to address. Pastor or discipleship leader, if you are looking for memorable fellowship, honest conversation, skill development, and professional conversation, join a learning community, and let’s elevate discipleship in our local churches together!
