NEXT DATES:

​

To be decided

​

We can facilitate a training anytime if you are noticing a need to come alongside addictions/life-controlling issues in your church or local community. 

​

Just identify potential leaders/facilitators in your church with a heart for this work.  It would be a joy to help them facilitate a work that will reach not only the wider community but also people in your congregation.

​

There will be a greater need for a "coming alongside" others as we navigate moving forward out of the crisis we have been experiencing.
