Through Helping Without Hurting in Benevolence Ministry, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to develop a holistic, relationship-focused benevolence ministry, equip your church or ministry with a biblical foundation for responding to requests for financial help, and learn tools and processes to address material poverty in your community in effective, transformational ways.

This training includes 6 live, 60-minute, online group sessions facilitated by two experienced Chalmers Lead Trainers to cement our learning and facilitate relational growth.

You’ll need to set aside a total of 12-18 hours to complete this course over the span of 6 weeks.

Each week, in addition to the group learning time, you'll need to plan for 1-2 hours outside of class working through reading, video, and activity assignments.
