Life Teen and Edge Webinars: Relational Ministry on a Different Playing Field

Whether you are already registered for Life or Edge Support or you are looking into starting, you can sign up for a webinar or two.

Therefore, keeping that in mind, we developed four webinar trainings to support you from your playing field in a time sensitive way.
