Toolbox for Life & Church
 
The ‘Toolbox’ is designed to develop skills which are life enhancing, helpful, useful, practical, empowering, encouraging, thought provoking, liberating and enabling.
Each individual course combines a practical approach with a strong Christian theme and reflection. They aim to help with skills for everyday life, the work place, church life or simply for personal growth.
