On Saturday, June 3, 2017, clergy and key laity from North Alabama Conference congregations are invited to a Training Workshop for Church Turnaround featuring Bishop Robert Schnase. The event, sponsored by Healthy Congregations, will take place at Trinity UMC (607 Airport Road, Huntsville, AL 35802) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Bishop Schnase will provide practical training for churches of all sizes in the art of growth in mission and ministry. He is known for his practical and effective writings on methods that create church health and growth. His latest book, Just Say Yes: Unleashing People for Ministry will be the featured resource for this seminar which will provide real-church examples of how every church can unleash its people for ministry – encouraging, emboldening and equipping them.
Bishop Schnase will be one of the featured teachers for the 2017 North Alabama Conference, which will gather in Huntsville on June 4-6. This pre-Annual Conference training will be an opportunity to join Bishop Debra Wallace-Padgett and Cabinet for an additional learning experience.
The cost of the workshop is $15 per person and includes the cost of lunch. Online registration is now open at https://na-reg.brtapp.com/BishopSchnaseTeachingSeminar.
