Enjoy Life Changing Seminars
I know you’re committed to being fully equipped to minister to God’s people for God’s glory. I also realize that sometimes it is difficult to find a seminar that doesn’t feel like a waste of time, impractical, unbiblical, too academic, boring, or irrelevant.
That’s why I want to introduce you to five seminars that all share the same passion: to provide Christ-centered, comprehensive, compassionate, and culturally-informed ministry equipping so you can change lives with Christ’s changeless truth.
Each of these seminars has been field-tested in churches, para-church organizations, and college and graduate school campuses. They are biblical, practical, user-friendly, and interesting. You will enjoy engaging biblical teaching, creative PowerPoint presentations, stirring vignettes, life-changing interaction, moving personal applications, and relevant ministry implications.
