Church Renewal Training Modules

Training Modules

These training modules can serve as a useful resource for equipping local church leadership. Each training module can be completed in 55-70 minutes. Every lesson includes an instructor's guide, participant’s handout and a PowerPoint. Some modules also have video resources. The materials are created to be flexible and can be used for all-church training or for smaller group sessions.
