New Staff Training
Resources for leaders who are responsible for training and onboarding new members with movement-building components using creative, relevant, attractive learning methods that do not depend on a training “center” or education venue. You can adapt these resources to meet your specific needs in on-boarding and training your new missionaries, volunteers or disciples and preparing them for a lifetime of fruitful ministry.
These resources are designed for CCC and Cru trainers, directors and LDHR leaders globally who are passionate about our new staff members and volunteers and are committed to preparing them well using the 39 Desired Outcomes in the areas of Heart and Ministry Fruitfulness.
If you are not part of CCC or Cru, you are very welcome here. Our resources can be easily downloaded and adapted and/or translated for training and preparing your missionaries, volunteers or disciples for a lifetime of fruitful ministry!
The two tab sections (Training New Staff and Training the Trainers) give details of both a sample curriculum to use in training your new members and also details of how to run an effective training event for your trainers. Please click on the two tabs for downloadable resources.
The New Staff Training offers an exciting curriculum with relevant, engaging and interactive sessions for equipping our new staff members and volunteers. There is one session created for each one of the 39 Desired Outcomes. Each session has Heart, Mind, and Hands components to facilitate learning and life change. There are Bible passages to study, articles to read, activities to apply, additional resources for deeper, individualized learning, and evaluation opportunities.
The sessions are designed to be done one-on-one with a trainer/mentor or in small groups, but can be adapted for a variety of training situations.
Guidebook
The training curriculum includes a guidebook that explains the history, philosophy, and layout of the training sessions. It also includes pages for doing a comparative evaluation of your present training program with the new 39 Outcomes.
Orientation Manual
The New Staff Training materials also include an Orientation Manual for the New Staff or volunteer leaders.
