Well, I’m extremely excited to announce this first, here! If you could benefit from some training in the area of college ministry, more connection with others in similar contexts you’re in that you can share learning experiences with, access to more practical resources, etc…it’s on the way! At CollegeLeader we’ve developed a Learning Network just for these purposes! We’re set to launch in March 2009. Here are some of the things you’ll be a part of in the learning network:

1. Monthly 90 Minute interactive web-based seminars, covering topics specifically for church-based college-age ministry. This is web-based where there will be a seminar given (you’ll have powerpoint, notes, etc. as you watch the seminar) and a time for Q&A – you can ask live questions – anything, anytime you want and we can discuss it.
2. Q&A sessions with prominent leaders in the American church today. You and I will sit down with these people and ask them their thoughts on the church today, college ministry, books they’ve written, etc.
3. You’ll be a part of the learning networks cohort system – a smaller network of approximately 10 people in similar ministry contexts that meet together monthly with a CollegeLeader mentor for Q&A and deeper discussion through the Monthly Seminars (and any other unique needs you might have in your ministry at that particular time). This provides you with a network of people you can learn from as well as teach through your personal failures and successes. It also provides you with ongoing connection with a college ministry veteran that can give you advice and perspective from their years of experience.
4. As a part of the Learning Network you will of course get a bunch of free resources, as well as ongoing discounts on pretty much anything we do through CollegeLeader.
5. You’ll also get exclusive articles that are not published anywhere else, written by college ministry veterans from around the country.
