If you’re new to Igniting Ministry, or if you’ve been involved since the
beginning, there is something valuable for you at an Igniting Ministry training
event. Anyone interested in growing a more welcoming lifestyle – inside and
outside the church – should attend the training.
These events, co-sponsored by United Methodist Communications and the annual
conferences of these areas, offer three different training options at the same
time. You can bring a team and cover all the sessions or just catch up with the
newest information and resources. Your choice – all for one low price of $40
per church.
If there is no event scheduled in your area, take a look at “
Find
a Trainer” to locate a local Igniting Ministry trainer who might come
to your church or district to offer a local training.
