Why Resource!?
Resource: (rē’sôrs’) – noun
“A source of supply, support, or aid, especially one that can be readily drawn upon when needed.” [Latin “resurgere” to rise or surge.]
The Christian Ministries Program of Tabor College Wichita seeks to become a valuable RESOURCE! to the ministries of area church leaders and workers. We want to become a source of supply, support, and aid to your church — we want to be a resource to you! We believe that education is not to be used simply for one’s own purposes, but as a gift to be shared in service to others.
We are providing this local low-cost training event for your church to be better equipped and enabled to do Christ-centered ministry! This RESOURCE! conference is an economical and effective way to equip and enable you and your church for ministry.
Could you use a little lift or surge in ministry? Come RESOURCE! for ministry Saturday, April 26th.
