UPDATED! Training & Development Opportunities

We value you as a volunteer leader. We want to provide as many opportunities as possible for you to grow as a person and as a children's minister. So here are some upcoming local and "not-so-local" conferences we believe will be a real blessing to you.

I know I (Rosie) am going to attend them all. I'd love for you to join me. I think it would be fun for us to meet somewhere outside of New Life and to learn something new together.

If you are interested in joining us (The New Life Kids Staff) at any of the below Conferences please be sure to send Rosie an email at rosie@newlifefellowship.org. (Financial assistance is available for those who need it.)
