• Confers credibility
• Offers education in areas of weakness
• Updates knowledge in areas of strength

4. REALIZING THE NEED
The Church Network has more that 500 titles in the database of in-
dividuals serving the various denominations. We realize the need
for quality education for those who run the“business”of church.
The titles are different, but the job is the same.
Whether someone is the solo pastor or one of 50 on staff, there are
always new ways to learn to serve you congregation.
Although the Centers are located at denominational seminaries,
the curriculum is non-denominational and everyone is invited.
