SERIES
Deacons Training
ABOUT THE SERIES
The Deacons Training series is aimed at equipping deacons with both the practical insight and tools to effectively serve and work together with the elders in leading God’s people within their local congregations.
WHO IS IT FOR?
The Deacons Training is intended for both those who are currently deacons and those that desire to serve within this leadership role. The short videos are designed to promote further reflection and group discussion, where appropriate. For this reason, we recommend watching them in small groups or as a leadership team.
The series is accompanied by a downloadable workbook for facilitators.
