Advocates for Victims of Abuse (AVA) Training
The seminary student association and ECC’s Women Ministries have partnered together to offer the denomination’s AVA (Advocates for Victims of Abuse) training. AVA seeks to help all persons recognize abuse, to support the abused, and to give language to speak about abuse for advocates and survivors alike. This training is appropriate for pastors, youth ministry staff, seminarians, small group leaders, childcare workers, and volunteers at all levels.
The training will take place on Saturday, March 24 from 9:00 am – 4:30 pm in Nyvall Hall. This training is free to all who register and is open to all seminary students, spouses, or broader community members interested. Lunch will be provided.
To register, please email Women Ministries at wmc@covchurch.org. If you’re a seminary student or spouse, please also let SA president Mackenzie Mahon know at mamahon@northpark.edu
