Episode 8: Why Training & Resourcing?

Show Notes:

The Next Generation Ministries office exists for the sole purpose of training and resourcing the local church. Our purpose is to help you develop and build towards the dreams and visions you have for your areas of ministry and community!

Training

Training is an important aspect of development in any area of life. We understand that we aren’t the only means of training and development; however, with our over 13 years of ministry experience in all areas of ministry within the local church we are able to provide perspective and insight towards your goals. We believe in a personalized, contextual, approach. We aren’t interested in a “copy/paste” mentality where one-size fits all. We do believe that leadership is a “universal language” and has many areas to be beneficial to you no matter who you listen to! We are interested in meeting the specific goals and dreams you have for your ministry with a hands-on approach.

Next Steps

Next Steps is a process where we formulate a plan specific to you and literally help you navigate your next steps. We are with you each step of the way! Our heart is to walk with you on this journey in a clear, practical, way to accomplish your goals.

This is designed with you, or your team, at your pace, and expectation! Our heart is your passion!

Resourcing

Resourcing can be a vague term… in this case, we mean it to be. We understand that there are many ways for a church to be “resourced”. It could be through curriculum that you need for children’s ministry, or a leader you need to connect with to learn more from, or insight on an event you are trying to host, or something simple and significant like building relationships.

Whatever we can do to help - we will. Jesus came to serve… not to be served. We consider it our greatest honor to serve you!

Final Thoughts

We would love the opportunity to partner with you and bring in some training and resourcing to your ministry. Whether you are starting from zero or going places you haven’t yet been - we are on your team and want to help you get to wherever you are going!
