Around Caring for the Orphaned and Vulnerable

Virtual Classes held on Wednesdays, October 7th – December 16th

The Church Ministry Essentials virtual experience will introduce you and a cohort of 10-12 others over ten weeks to multiple leaders from around the country representing decades of experience.

Whether launching a new ministry, leading an existing one or working to mobilize churches in your community, their practical insights along with the principles and practices found in the book, Everyone Can Do Something, will help you build a framework to discover, implement and sustain your next best steps no matter where you are on your ministry journey of foster care, adoption, family support and global orphan care.
