Journey Together Training

The Journey Together Training is practical pastoral theology 101. This is a week-long holistic training designed for pastors, full-time ministers, and lay leaders to experience the deep love of God and authentic relationships with one another. Participants will learn our Life-care model, how to more deeply embrace teh centrality of Christ, and how to experience the power of authentic spiritual friendships,  Training tips will be given in areas of physical health and emotional intelligence.
