It's a Crisis

Across America, thousands of small churches are on the brink of closing their doors, often because congregations are unable to find a minister. What if the next minister at your church wasn’t a professional whom you found in a pulpit search, but a member of the congregation who is willing to step up and “bridge” for a season or even longer? What if you could train church members to lead in an interim capacity or to take their first steps towards a long-term ministry?

New Models of Ministry Training

Kingdom Partnerships, in collaboration with the Christian Church Leadership Network, is offering an 8-week class covering basic ministry skills for those who are considering whether God might be calling them to serve as a “Bridge” in their local church. This class can be taken without leaving home or leaving your job; complete the coursework online and at your own schedule, with a 1-hour call with a ministry mentor every week.
