Online video training. Returning counselors are required to watch the first two training videos. New counselors must watch all videos. Returning counselors are encouraged to watch additional training videos.

Therefore encourage one another and (edify) build each other up
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Pastors have unique struggles, challenges, joys, and victories. We understand each other and need each other. So I am starting E&E meetings. You have probably guessed by now that E&E means to encourage and to edify, which we all need. Zoom is the most convenient way to have regular meetings so we will start with zoom meetings. If you do not have access to a computer please let me know and we can make other accommodations. We want everyone to be involved. Please email me at PastorMilan@choginal.org for more details and information on our next meeting.

In His Service,
Milan

Minister's Conference
2023-03-11 09:00 - 14:30 | Riverchase Community Church, 2053 Old Montgomery Highway, Birmingham, AL, 35244, United States
Calling all ministers! Our annual minister’s meeting is March 11 – 9 AM – 2 PM at Riverchase Community Church. We need you to at this meeting because we will be approving pastors, approving churches, and voting on ministers to be licensed and ordained. Karl Vaters, author of “The Grasshopper Myth “and “Small Church Essentials” will be speaking to us in two sessions on “What’s Working in Churches that are Thriving’ and “Three Ways a Small Church can be an Effective Church.” You do not want to miss this essential and informative meeting.
More about Karl Vaters. Karl has been in pastoral ministry for 40 years. He is the teaching pastor of Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, a healthy small church in Orange County, California, where he has ministered for over 28 years with his wife, Shelley. They have three kids and two grandkids.
Karl produces resources for Helping Small Churches Thrive at KarlVaters.com. His heart is to help pastors of small churches (up to 90 percent of us) find the resources to lead well, and to capitalize on the unique advantages that come with pastoring a small church – something virtually every pastor will spend at least some of their ministry years doing.
He also believes that big and small churches can and should work together more often – to the benefit and blessing of everyone.
