A Leadership Training Day Conference with William Taylor will be held at Christ Church Umhlanga on Saturday 27th March.
Lay Preacher's Training Days
These take place in Pinetown on a monthly basis and focus on equipping Lay Preachers to better handle and teach God's Word. Download the programme for 2010.

Since ENTRUST is committed to raising up a new generation of Bible teachers apprenticeships (internships) are encouraged in local KwaZulu-Natal churches and comprise two components:
- church based Ministry Apprenticeship Programmes (MAP), and
- regional training (ETC).
ETC seeks to train those who want to be better Bible teachers. This training is ideal for those involved in leading Bible teaching ministries in local churches: children’s workers, youth workers, Bible Study leaders, and part-time preachers, will benefit greatly. For those who wish to enter paid Christian ministry ETC is an ideal forerunner to theological training. A detailed course description is available here.
