Training For Ministry
Training for Ministry
Helping people find Jesus is the most noble work in life. Helping them grow in Jesus is just as noble. And both are essential activities for every follower of Christ.
At Apostle City Ministries our goal is to train as many believers as possible and thrust them into the Lord’s harvest. It’s more than winning souls, its also about nurturing them and guiding them to be successful working together in Christ.
As we partner with struggling Churches all over America it is our vision and our passion to send trained followers of Jesus Christ to serve in reclaiming territory for the kingdom of God. If you are interested please contact us and let’s have a conversation.
