New to Partners in Ministry
The Partners in Ministry (PIM) program is an educational lay ministry program offered by the EOA. Its purpose is to help lay leaders expand their knowledge and skills. The program provides courses in a variety of areas which may lead to certification, accreditation or spiritual enrichment. The EOA is now also in partnership with the Western Reserve Association (WRA) which has a lay ministry program that EOA members may take advantage of. The courses are designed to strengthen discipleship, broaden one's understanding of commitment and enrich one's personal faith journey.
