Current Ministry Project

VOMC is working with a project partner to offer Christian leadership training to key individuals who will then implement a leadership development program through a local cluster of churches. VOMC’s partner has a simple, practical, and affordable strategy for developing leaders who are involved in church planting. This training provides practical leadership principles to believers who want to emulate the selfless servant-leadership modelled by Jesus.
