"If our society requires training to cut hair,
how much more should we prepare
those who shepherd souls for eternity?"
Every Sunday, your church leaders stand before people whose souls will live forever. Consider who they're teaching...
Little ones whose first understanding of God is shaped by your teachers. Their faith foundations are being laid right now.
Eternal souls.
Young people questioning everything, searching for truth. They need leaders who can guide them through doubt to faith.
Eternal souls.
Parents, workers, seekers. People navigating life's hardest questions who need solid biblical teaching to stand firm.
Eternal souls.
Those in their final season, preparing for eternity. They deserve leaders who can help them finish well.
Eternal souls.
"Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness."— James 3:1 (ESV)
