GROW CENTER MICRO COURSE: ENTREPRENEURIAL MINISTRY
Join Northern professor Dr. Gerald Dew
This course is designed to train faith leaders to create one or more non-traditional income streams to support spiritual ministry. One of the principles for this initiative is the “Bi- Vocational” pastor. Since church leaders can be and are “Bi-Vocational” the churches they lead can also have other streams of revenue to support their ministries.
This five-week virtual class will expose participants to a variety of business models, corporate structures, and business plans as examples of what is possible in the realm of Entrepreneurial Ministry.
April 15th, 22nd, 29th ||| May 6th, 13th
