Webinar: After the Survey: Using Assessment Tools to Empower Lay Ministry

There are many different assessment tools for ministry including Spiritual Gifts inventories, CliftonStrengths, and more. No matter which one you choose, they can be helpful for empowering lay ministry if implemented well. In this webinar, we will discuss strategies for doing so. Our presenters, Carol Pinkham Oak and Rachel Sosebee, will speak from their experiences of utilizing these tools and offer tips.
