Forum to Help Churches Reach Black Millennials
The African American Intercultural Congregational Support ministry announces its inaugural “Black Millennials and the Church” forum. The online event, at 7:00 p.m. November 10, will help current church leaders gain insight into the issues that often prove to be disconnects between African American Millennials and the church.
Become a Certified Church Administrator
Church administrators may become certified through virtual educational programs available from the Church Network. These online certification courses, easily accessible through Zoom, are offered in two modules covering four topics each. Each class features live instruction for the first two hours, followed by small group discussion for the third hour. Enrollment is open now for classes starting in January.
