Description
This guide assists congregations who are considering whether an ESL ministry is right for them and, if so, how to begin. It provides tips on assessing the needs of the community, enlisting a team, planning and publicizing an ESL program, and evaluating success. This guide's perspective is that ESL classes not only reduce isolation and increase opportunities for those who don't yet have English skills, but they also connect people to faith.
