Redemptive Poverty Work
Redemptive Poverty Work
Whether you volunteer or serve in full time ministry, our Redemptive Poverty Work teaching offers a fresh perspective on how to empower those living in the condition of poverty. In this free course, Dr. Alvin Sanders walks through the three types of poverty work and how we can move beyond charity.
Church Planting
Church Planting
Evangel Church Plant School will help your church plant team develop a sound, reproducible strategy to plant a healthy church in the community God has laid on your heart. Our Evangel School will equip you to plant that church through its online content, live sessions, expert coaching, and team assignments.
Trauma Healing
Trauma Healing
If you minister to at-risk populations, Trauma Healing provides specific tools and approaches that will place them on a path to healing, forgiveness, and freedom. Through our virtual trainings taught by certified leaders, we will equip you to lead your own Trauma Healing Trainings and/or host Healing Groups in your church and community.
Church-Based Seminary
Church-Based Seminary
Join or mentor a course of TUMI’s Capstone Curriculum. These courses help leaders grow in their knowledge of Scripture, theology, the Christian life, and practical ministry. They cover everything needed to prepare God-called leaders for effective ministry in and through the church.
Prison Ministry
Prison Ministry
Our Onesimus Workshop can equip your church to begin an effective prison ministry both inside and outside the prison. It will show you how to make disciples of the incarcerated, welcome them as returning citizens, and affirm their calling as fruitful servants of the Kingdom in new areas of ministry.
Retreats
Retreats
The Retreats training enables you to host your own spiritual retreat, outfitted with a theme, corresponding graphics and templates for scheduling and organization, filmed main sessions from powerful speakers, and a toolkit of trainings to help you sponsor a life-changing, temporary community retreat experience for your church.
