Leader Training
We are now offering the "Welcoming Training Online Course" for all the youth and adult leaders in our church. Registration is open from July 15-August 26. This free four-part course allows you to work at your own pace as you read information, explore multimedia materials, engage in discussion forums, complete assignments, take quizzes and share feedback. This course will help you
~understand the motivation and research behind the "Open hearts" and "Rethink Church" national advertising of the denomination.
~explore the importance of developing a welcoming lifestyle - in your life and in your church.
~create an action plan to help build welcoming into your congregation's culture as you invite your community through targeted advertising.
Our denomination is investing another $20 million in a national advertising campaign, and when newcomers respond to it they especially want to know about the people in our congregations. What happens when these people touched by our advertising meet the people at Grace United Methodist Church is absolutely critical. This is where your leadership is so important.
