As a CMN Launch/Multisite attendee, you can use the training you received at the event toward the completion of the PTH 663 class. Also, you preach every Sunday, so why not learn about doing it more effectively in HOM 633. These classes are facilitated by Dr. Mike McCrary, Co-Director of CMN. Dr. McCrary understands who you are and what you are trying to do and will provide valuable direction and inspiration through these classes.
