Training at ECU
...train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
(1 Timothy 4:7-8)
At the core of our activities is training in godliness. We are well “trained” in godlessness when we conform to the patterns of this world. So our desire is to be transformed by the renewing of our minds through the Scriptures as we train each other to be godly. To that end we run training groups to think God's thoughts after him as we look at doctrine, and ministry issues. We also train each other in practical skills of evangelism and ministry (e.g. leading better bible studies, learning a simple gospel outline, evangelistic bible studies etc)
Leadership Training
Training servant leaders is vitally important for the spiritual health and growth of all Christians. For those leading in ECU and other ministries, ‘Leadership Training’ is run on Tuesday afternoons. There’ll be 3 courses to choose from:
- Leading small groups
- One to one ministry
- Doctrine
Beginning in week 2, these will each run for 1 hour, with the option of starting at 3:30 or 4:30 on Tuesday afternoon. Rooms will be confirmed closer to the date, so watch this space. If you want to be involved contact Rob Copland rob@ecuwollongong.org.
If you are unable to make any of these times but would like to do one of these training courses, contact Rob Copland rob@ecuwollongong.org about alternative times.
