Ministry Toolkit
In keeping with our mission, the Lifelong Learning Center (LLC) has developed a Ministry Toolkit available on the GRTS web site. This Toolkit is a set of resources from leading individuals and organizations with expertise in specialized areas of ministry. The purpose of the Toolkit is to provide leaders in ministry with links to resources that will facilitate continued learning as they encounter new facets of ministry. The contents of this kit were suggested by faculty, staff and friends of the GRTS. These resources are in keeping with the Seminary's commitment to providing quality resources, however, the Seminary does not endorse every position stated in these resources.
