We are going to get a front row seat to unpack the amazing resource of Kingswood Learn during District Ministerial. President Lennox will be onsite to provide a thorough introduction to his phenomenal and cost-effective resource for raising and releasing leaders in our local churches! Steve is leading with courage and effectiveness in this season and has already raised over $1.1M in cash and pledges toward the five-year goal of $2.7M to make this resource available for free to serve the local church. What will this include?

● Two-sided platform offering high-quality, thoroughly vetted, free micro-courses addressing questions commonly raised in the church.
● Primary purpose is to strengthen the church by providing free resources for discipleship and leadership development.
● As a two-sided platform, individuals can be both consumers and producers, using the content provided by Kingswood, but also customizing the platform by adding their own content.
● Some users will also be inspired by tasting the high-quality learning offered in these micro-courses to take advantage of Kingswood’s other options, such as certificate and credit-bearing programs.

It’s never too early to make plans for the men in your church to be challenged and encouraged at XY MEN’S CONFERENCE – CLICK HERE for details. This year Kings (Brent Ingersoll) will be offering this at a new location – Moncton Wesleyan.
