This is done through organized trainings for the people elected or appointed for various posts in the Church as well as volunteers like the Sunday school teachers, youth leaders among others. There are programs used to enhance learning and especially when we get to the Word of God where various books are given to guide our learners’ on the same. The trainings are mainly done at our retreat center Safari Ya Biblia retreat center.
