Welcoming - Training

    Overview

    open hearts welcoming training
    When newcomers respond to our “Open hearts” messages, they especially check out the people. The real test of our advertising happens when seekers encounter “The people of The United Methodist Church.” That’s why training is one of the key components of Rethink Church. Welcoming training is available in four convenient forms and supported by the advertising and welcoming resources of United Methodist Communications.

    If you’re new to the "Open hearts" ministry or if you’ve been involved since the beginning, there is something valuable for you at a "Welcoming" training event. Anyone interested in growing a more welcoming lifestyle – inside and outside the church – should attend the training.

    These events, co-sponsored by United Methodist Communications and the annual conferences of these areas, offer three different training options at the same time. You can bring a team and cover all the sessions or just catch up with the newest "Welcoming" information and resources.

    If there is no event scheduled in your area, take a look at "Find a Trainer" to locate a local trainer who might come to your church or district to offer a local training event.
