Regional Networks
People equip people. When you're figuring out how to help people serve at your church, one of the best resources is someone who's already doing the same at their church. Whether we're novices or verterans at equipping, we always learn alot from each other.
Equipping networks are beginning to form around the United States. Most are people from area churches who meet periodically to support each other as they equip people to serve, and to encourage other churches to get started equipping. Here's some info on regional networks I'm aware of. If you have info on other networks, let me know.
Northern Illinois
Team CVC of Chicagoland West meets quarterly on Thursday afternoons in Elgin. See their flyer for dates and more info. They are part of the Team CVC network (see below). I am on the team that leads this network, so you can also contact me for info.
Southern California
LEAD (Lay Empowerment and Development)is a network that has been in existence for many years in the Los Angeles/Orange County area of southern California. Contact info will be posted as soon as I can locate it!
National networks
Team CVC is a national group of local networks supported by Church Volunteer Central of Group Publishing Company. Churches do not need to be a CVC member to participate in Team CVC networks.
