2009 New Citizens’ Training Track Classes
New Members Department

New Ambassadors of Christ, Now Is The Time! In keeping with the vision of our Bishop, the New Citizens’ Ministry, in conjunction with the Christian Education Department, has designed a training track that all incoming New Citizens’ are required to complete as New Ambassadors.

This training track prepares you to serve in a ministry where your gifts, talents and skills can be fully utilized for the advancement of the Kingdom. The vision of Bishop Long is for our Servant Leaders to be fulfilled while serving in the ministries and impacting our communities for Christ.

The Servant Leader’s Training Track to Serve is outlined below. All New Citizens’ (and current citizens’ who have not yet completed their New Citizens’ Orientation Classes), will be required to complete all three tracks prior to becoming active in ministry. Current citizens’, who have been active in ministry prior to the development of Training Tracks II and III, are asked to complete Tracks II and III at your earliest convenience.

If you have any questions, please visit the New Citizens’ booth located across from the Welcome Center before or after service on Wednesdays and Sundays. You can also contact us at 770-696-9600 x1052 or via email: newmembers@newbirth.org
