EPC Leadership Training
This Saturday, August 10th at 9:00am 
Intended to equip lay people with a broad knowledge of the Christian faith, we will use the Leadership Training Guide developed by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church for the training of elders. Even if you never expect to serve as an elder, you will benefit from this deep and systematic grounding in the faith. It's a chance to study, learn and interact with others, to join with the cloud of witnesses who have run the race of faith before us.
