BASIC Lay Servant Ministries - This course is foundational for all courses in lay servant ministries. Participants are encouraged to discover and employ their personal spiritual gifts as God intended and to consider the importance of exercising servant leadership, developing future leaders, remaining rooted in constant spiritual practices, and being part of a group that holds members accountable in their discipleship. You will also learn a few best practices as a church leader for mission and ministry in the community—and in your daily life. Expect to have fun along the way! You will need to order this textbook: Lay Servant Ministries Participant's Book, by Sandy Ziegler Jackson & Brian Jackson ISBN: 978-0-88177-626-3
Leading Prayer Advanced Course: Public Prayer - Praying in public can be daunting, but prayer is something one learns. This course on praying in public will help the participants grow in confidence and skill in public prayer and enrich their personal prayer life. You will need to order this textbook: Shaping the Prayers of the People: The Art of Intercession by Samuel Wells & Abigail Kocher ISBN: 978-0-8028-7097-1
Preaching Advanced Course: From Your Heart to Theirs (Delivering an Effective Sermon) - Moving beyond the basics of public speaking and the foundations necessary for preparing an engaging sermon, this course also includes types of sermons - from exegetical to topical to children’s sermons - as well as how to find a story, how to use the hymnal, and how to move from communication on paper to beyond the paper.
