Ministry Training Resources

NEW MINISTRY TRAINING RESOURCES

I am excited to make you aware of some new resources I am making available to you and your churches. Thom Rainer, of Church Answers Ministry, is a great resource for church life and provides great research as well as resources for churches. I have been able to secure, on my own, the following resources I believe will be very relevant as we navigate reopening and redoing ministry in the Post COVID world:

1. The book, written by Thom Rainer, dealing with and titled “The Post Quarantine Church” is now available. He outlines 8 facts, through serious research, that many did not see coming as a result of the Pandemic. The podcast on this subject and book is on his website “churchanswers.com” and is an outstanding look at the realities of church here in 2020 and beyond. Training on this will be available very soon.
2. Available now, through our office, are digital resources (which are downloadable) concerning the following areas of ministry regardless of the size of your church:
   1. 4 Steps to Revitalizing Your Church – This resource deals with the care of your church. Quoting Thom Rainer, “This resource is more than online training, it is an online consultation where Thom Rainer helps you move your church from flatlined to flourishing.” Breaking Barriers (32 available lessons) – Churches are called to be outward-focused. In this series of 16 online lessons, Dr. Rainer discusses what barriers churches face and the techniques for breaking those barriers.
      
   2. Deeper Dive – According to Dr. Rainer, “Pastors face a range of issues that impact staffing (both paid and volunteer), church safety, membership, and so much more. Church leaders are rarely ready to face difficult circumstances but you can prepare.” Great resource.
   3. Eight Steps to Creating a Dynamic and Highly Beneficial New Members’ Class – Dr. Rainer ask the following question and makes a comment: “Do your members understand what being a member in your church involves? Watch this online course to learn how to communicate expectations, church vision, and church life.”
   4. Invite Your One (this is not to be confused with “Who’s Your One) - Most people visit a church because someone invited them. In this online course, Dr. Rainer walks you through how to move your church from inward to outward and have an inviting culture.
      

As you can see there is a plethora of great resources that are made available to you FREE. Please consider taking advantage of them. Please call for more information and to schedule a time for us to look at these resources together.
