Theology + Trades: CrossPointe Center for the Trades

How can hands-on training in the trades along with Christ-centered formation form people in vocations to serve in their communities? Jenny Jaroneski (CrossPointe Launch and Outreach Coordinator, LCMS Michigan District, Sterling Heights, MI) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about why CrossPointe Center for the Trades is personally important to her, where the idea for this partnership with the Southeast Michigan Construction Academy (SEMCA) came from, why this partnership is important to the Michigan District, what makes CrossPointe different from other vocational/trade schools, and how students will learn theology alongside learning a trade. Learn more, including registration information, at michigandistrict.org/crosspointe and crosspointetrades.org.
