Welcome to Digital Readiness for Church Leaders
Ministry today calls for wisdom, compassion, communication, and good stewardship. In many everyday situations, church leaders are also expected to use phones, messages, digital records, online meetings, and simple tools that support ministry work.
This course offers a gentle starting point for leaders who want to grow in confidence and become more comfortable with everyday digital tools that can strengthen communication, coordination, and ministry support.
Why this matters in ministry today
The calling of ministry remains the same, but the environment in which ministry happens continues to change. Communication is faster. Coordination is more digital. Meetings, follow-up, and records increasingly rely on tools many leaders were never formally introduced to.
This course is designed to help bridge that gap in a practical, respectful, and encouraging way. It supports leaders in what they already do faithfully, while helping them become more prepared for the realities of ministry today.
