PLYMOUTH, MI – SPARK is BACK!
SPARK is free online equipping for church staff, leaders and volunteers without the time or expense of travel. It’s training your church can access in teams or individually for greater ministry impact in your church, community and beyond!
Much has changed in the last year and a half, but the need to “…equip the saints for the work of the ministry” remains. The Spark Conference is an incredible resource churches can use to equip leaders and volunteers taught by leading practitioners across our convention. It’s just what we need as we continue to engage our world with the hope of the world.
