Eldership Training

The Eldership Training is a 15-part series of videos with the purpose of training potential and existing elders to lead their churches and congregations, disciple their leaders and saints into wholeness, health and purity, and to grow in their gifting and calling.

Who Is It For?

We highly recommend watching this series in groups, together as local leadership and eldership teams, and that it is facilitated by a lead elder or an apostolic gift.
The series is accompanied by a downloadable workbook for facilitators.
