Every other Wednesday - 5 two-hour online sessions
Gospel Fluency
What are the learning objectives?
The Gospel is not just the entrance to the Christian life; it is the foundation and the power for the Christian life. As ministry leaders, we are called to give people this life-transforming Gospel. That means that, first and foremost, we need to be rooted in it ourselves. Our cities need leaders who have been deeply shaped by the Gospel and who are equipped to apply the Gospel to the hearts and lives of those we serve. Our prayer is that through this course, you will come to experience the Gospel in greater depth and learn how to apply it to your city.
Who is it for?
If you are a leader in a local church with a desire to be faithful and fruitful in your ministry, the Gospel Fluency is for you.
