Penglai Church in Shandong Province hosted a six-day workshop for leaders of grassroots churches and meeting points, aiming at equipping grassroots church leaders to enhance their service to local congregations.
The training lasted from November 11 to 16 and brought together 80 leaders and pastoral workers representing 25 grassroots churches within the district.
Penglai Church manages two churches and 23 meeting points, all situated in mountainous rural areas. The development of these gathering points varies due to their diverse geographical locations. Utilizing the winter farming off-season, Penglai Church organized this training course for grassroots leaders to improve the overall quality of leadership, support the healthy growth of the church, and strengthen individual service capabilities.
During the training session, Rev. Ling Zaixue, deputy director of the Luozhuang District CC&TSPM in Linyi City, citing passages from the Gospel of Mark, guided participants on becoming servants of God’s will. Elder Liu Zhiwen, former deputy director of the Lanshan District CC&TSPM in Linyi, drew from 1 Timothy to inspire attendees to serve as workers of God.
Throughout the training, the hosting church ensured comprehensive support for all participants. Members of the Martha Group woke up at 4 a.m. to prepare meals. When asked if the work was challenging, they thanked God for the opportunity to serve instead. Staff members from the church’s security and service teams also diligently fulfilled their responsibilities.
Additionally, the church organized sessions on "How to Identify and Resist Heresy and Cults" and conducted field training on fire safety drills.
山东蓬莱教会举办基层堂点负责人冬季培训班，更好服侍基层教会。
11月11日至11月16日，山东蓬莱教会举办为期六天的基层堂点负责人冬季培训班，来自全区25个基层堂点负责人，以及教牧同工共80多人参加了培训。
蓬莱教会拥有2个堂和23个聚会点，都是来自山区农村，由于地理位置的不同，导致各聚会点发展参差不齐。为进一步提高基层堂点负责人的综合素质，满足教会健康发展需求，并提升个人服侍能力，蓬莱教会趁着冬季农闲季节，特举办这次基层堂点负责人冬季培训班。
培训班上，临沂罗庄区基督教两会副主任凌再雪牧师通过马可福音的经文，为大家讲授怎样做一个合乎神心意的仆人；原临沂兰山区两会副主任刘志文长老则引用提摩太前书的经文，教导参训人员如何做一个属神的工人。
在培训中，蓬莱教会为参加者做好全程服务。马大组的弟兄姊妹，每日早晨四点钟起来做饭。别人问他们苦不苦？他们说，感谢神，能得到机会侍奉。安保和服务组弟兄姊妹也各尽其职。
同时，蓬莱教会进行了“如何分辨和抵挡异端邪教”的培训，以及“消防演练”的实地培训。
