Spring Classes have already begun. My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge…. Hosea 4:6 |
Shiloh Baptist Church is hosting the Accomack / Northampton Counties Evans-Smith Leadership Training Institute, a Certificate Program, sponsored by the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University and The Baptist General Convention of Virginia.
The School of Theology partners with local congregations to cultivate leadership for various expressions of ministry. Recognizing that many church leaders lack formal theological education, the School of Theology of Virginia Union University and the Baptist General Convention of Virginia consider it a duty to offer quality educational opportunities that will assist all persons in fully developing their potential.
It is the goal of the Evans-Smith program to offer opportunities to grow spiritually and to sharpen and expand skills necessary for more effective and efficient service as leaders in the local congregation. Further, the goal is that participants in this program will render an improved quality of service to the local congregation and the world.
Any person who is serious about developing his or her potential to the fullest and becoming an effective church worker should contact Reverend Jerome Lee, Jr., Pastor and Site Coordinator for the Evans-Smith Leadership Training Institute.
