2024/25
Various evenings, 7.45–9.15pm
On Zoom
Fortify courses are especially intended to encourage and equip the wonderful folks serving as volunteer leaders in the local church. They are designed to be short courses, highly interactive and rich with practical ideas and helpful ministry suggestions each week. The courses are open to everyone; come individually or with a group from church.
If you’re signing up as a group from the same church, why not plan to watch the sessions together and use the discussion times to practically apply the course content to your area of ministry. If you come as part of a group and watch on individual screens, we’ll make sure you’re in an exclusive breakout room for discussion.
As teams you can meet together to watch the zoom and discuss in person or you can join to zoom individually from the comfort of your own home and then discuss as a church group in your own zoom room.
