United Methodist Communications Training offers affordable online courses and free online micro-training courses, with professional instruction available on YOUR time. We can teach you how to engage with your congregation online, reach out to seekers, and share God’s love with the latest Internet tools. We’ll share best practices for building a team for welcoming ministry. We can even help you plan a mission trip to improve the quality of life in developing countries through information and communications technology.
While the training courses offered here generally take 2-3 hours to complete, the application of the courses may require more time. For example, you may need to meet with other leaders in your church, take time to evaluate your current communication strategies, or make plans for implementing the new skills you’ve learned.
Micro-trainings are a learning method designed to deliver effective content in a time frame ranging from 15 - 20 minutes.These "burst of knowledge" or micro-trainings will equip you with communication practices that you can start applying to your congregations today.
