Develop a Community Ministry

Name: Develop a Community Ministry
Availability: InStock

The church is a community organisation. We were the original, such organisation, and while others have grown to mimic us, to fill the gap that we missed to compete with us, we are and will always be a community-based organisation. Our capacity is to be the best.

We are at the grassroots of society, and our organisations have to relate to the same laws, legislation, and principles as any other community-based organisation. The subject “Develop a Ministry” will help to address those issues and, in the process, be a better church. We use “CHCCDE002 Develop and Implement Community Programs“ to satisfy this subject.
