Past Learners Said…
“I went from “overwhelm” to “I did it!” in just a few weeks. It was fun to show my Leadership Council the changes on our website and see the lights come on … just like mine did in the class.”
“This has been wonderful fodder for me to go back to my pastor, my evangelism team, and our educational resources person. It’s been very, very valuable to me.”
“This course helped my church focus on the three most important aspects of our ministry that people in the community are looking for. Because my Administrator took the course as well, we have a game plan with a common understanding.”
“I learned a lot of resources I will use again and again. I got validation that small groups, our “sweet spot” for our church ministry, is missing on our website. We’re changing that.”
“I learned so many tricks that will help me. I had no idea it could be this easy.”
