On-Site Training Day:
Basic training introduces leaders to the tools for visioning, strategic planning, and congregational assessment; interfaces with the resources available with MissionInsite; and builds rapport with denominational staff with a mandate for congregational mission support.
Webinars:
Webinars are long distance, internet seminars using specialized software that allows the consultant to control computer presentation and communicate through Skype technology.
Each webinar lasts two hours (including a break). They are scheduled conveniently for the client and the consultant. Participants receive a workbook and collection of resources customized for the denominational identity and context of the region for each webinar.
