Communications & IT (Online Training)

Words matter. Communication is important. We know God because he speaks. And when he speaks, he speaks in such a way that even we…his finite creation…can understand. He accommodates Himself to us.

Over the past 20-30 years, the ways in which we can be heard by others, as well as be misheard has grown exponentially. How then, with a message that can move people from death to life, do we connect & communicate in a way that both proclaims in a way that connects and engages in a way that embodies the Gospel of the Lord Jesus?

This course will help you explore how we communicate the Gospel clearly so that we hit the right audience in the right way. It aims to help you:
