Training Resources

Foundations is OneHope’s training brand that shares valuable insights and innovations to equip children’s and youth ministers globally. The name Foundations is taken from 1 Corinthians 3:10-11: “According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
