We desire to assist churches with their need to provide teacher training – as well as practical instruction toward strengthening the overall Sunday School ministry, children’s and youth programs, VBS and more. While Dr Jim Vogel leads the majority of the clinic workshops , various other NF presenters are available to join him at specific church sites to teach, as well, usually on Saturdays, for a group of churches in a local area desiring help.
Contact Jim Vogel if you are interested in hosting or attending one.
