Hey students! Welcome to virtual training. We as staff have put together materials that we believe will be helpful for you to: 1. walk with Jesus well, and 2. steward your ministry time to the best of your ability. We are for you! Walk through these training materials in order to be successful this week. Check this page weekly for training updates. The beginning of the semester will be frontloaded. Don’t worry or panic. Take your time, know your limits. Ministry is done best by trusting the Lord and balancing well.

  • Getting Your Community Group Started

Community Groups can be intimidating, especially if you are starting with all freshmen.
