Best Practices Webinars – NAD Ministerial invites pastors to join us for the “Best Practices Webinars” every 3rd Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. (EST) each month. Each month experts in the practice of ministry share their best practices in ministry. With the webinar format Pastors will be able to participate and ask questions with each presenter through the online delivery.
