The “Welcoming Ministry 101" online course (WL101) is a free, self-directed course designed to help church leaders to explore the importance of developing a welcoming lifestyle—in your life and in your church. The four-part course allows you to work at your own pace as you read information, explore multimedia materials, engage in discussion forums, complete assignments, take quizzes and share feedback.
Each of the four modules takes about one hour to complete and includes:
- An introduction to welcoming as you consider what welcoming means and put yourself in the place of a stranger.
-
An exploration of how to make welcoming a personal ministry that demonstrates what you can do to live out welcoming as a model for others in your church.
-
An opportunity to create an action plan for your church and organize ideas you have discovered in this course that will help your church become a more welcoming congregation.
