The Churches Volunteering in Communities Trust (CViC) is committed to helping to lead churches into sustainable community engagement in service of the Gospel. Its Community Link Training Course commences in May, and is designed to help churches forge a volunteer team that will grow the vision of seeing every neighbourhood across New Zealand befriended by a local church. Churches with an outward focus, or wanting to develop an outward focus, are encouraged to take advantage of the special opportunity of $50 for two training days (instead of the regular $250) to check out the course. Howard Webb, interim CEO of CVic, says church-based practitioners from around the country have been enlisted to come up with a training course that’s relevant and practical.
