Ventures online course to focus on healthy and safe congregations

The April offering from the “Ventures in Christian Discipleship” program at McPherson (Kan.) College will focus on “Healthy and Safe Congregations.” Almost all congregations aspire to welcome the stranger into our midst.

This course will look specifically at how congregations can be a safe place for those who are vulnerable.
