BCRSMI

The National Association of the Church of God, in partnership with the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, is offering an eight-month cohort program. This initiative is designed to equip, engage, and empower pastors, women in ministry, and ministry leaders to implement practices aligned with Jesus' mandate to make disciples through evangelism. The goal is to help churches adopt creative and empowering evangelism practices. Additionally, this program aims to empower women in ministry by providing innovative practices that help them find or reclaim their voice and value within the church as leaders. The initiative also seeks to reimagine the future possibilities for rural and small-town ministry.
