For many of you, steep registration costs and the added expense to travel make it near impossible for you to attend many of the church leader conferences. It may be the end of the year and your church budgets are tapped, but don’t fret because there are still a few premier web ministry and social media training events that are cost effective. Here are a few that I found. If you are aware of similar training events, please comment below with your suggestions.
