Children's Ministry, Spiritual Formation, LeadershipAvailability
Short-term (1-3 months) or Episodic, Long-term (6 months or more)Why Mentoring?
The people who invested into my life as mentors when I started out in ministry was invaluable. The hours just listening and helping provide direction without telling me what to do was significant and helped refine me as a leader. I would love to continue to give back to those called into ministry as they are beginning their vocational journey.Impactful Books
