Course FAQs

Do all MDs need to MD the same?
Absolutely not! If you’ve been asked to MD at your campus, it’s because your leader wants you to bring YOU to the role! This course is meant to provide guidelines, best practices and cultural bumper guards to ensure the WHY behind the role is being accomplished.
I'm already an MD at one of our campuses. Do I have to take this course?
The beauty of this course is that no matter how long you’ve been MDing for at our church, there’s always something you can learn and grow in!
