People, Not Programs: Forming Leaders Who Accompany
Ave Maria Press
Tuesday, September 22 at 3:00 PM ET
What happens when a new volunteer signs up to be a leader for young people in ministry? All over the country, people are signing up for this role, even now during the time of Covid-19. But how do ministry leaders help these volunteers understand that they’re doing much more than a once-a-week volunteer role? What moves an adult from signing up to help out to accompanying young people in their journey of faith? This webinar shares the five key principles of small group leadership as they focus on people, not programs. Register online.
