What does it take to Host a Workshop?

• Provide facilities to accommodate a group of 50 – 100 people.
• Volunteers to help plan and prepare for workshop.
• Publicize the workshop and send out invitations to area churches.
• Volunteers to prepare a First Place meal for workshop participants.
• Contact people to field calls and collect registration forms and fees.
• Funds to cover the workshop leader expenses, (i.e. transportation and lodging) which will be generated through registration fees.

Please prayerfully consider hosting a First Place Workshop. The ministry of First Place changes lives, but only to the extent that churches are equipped to implement First Place classes. First Place invites you to be a part of a ministry team whose single purpose is leading others to seek Christ first in all of life!
