INTER-PRESBYTERY LEADERSHIP FORMATION (IPLF) is offering a series of continuing education workshops. All will be in-person with masks and proper distancing. Please check it out.
If you are a Ruling Elder, God might be calling you to preach or become more involved in pastoral service. Upper Ohio Valley Presbytery, with four neighboring presbyteries, will be continuing the Inter-Presbytery Leadership Formation (IPLF) training program for the preparation of possible "Commissioned Pastors" for the future. New students may begin in the fall of 2020. The program includes both classroom and hands-on experiences, and you will receive training and mentorship that will help you grow as a leader in Christ's Church. If interested, please contact Dee Kovach deekovach@att.net.
