Each training video series is made up of short videos that can be watched individually, or in a playlist from beginning to end. If you have a promo code for a free Intro to PowerChurch online training class, you can still redeem it for the Intro to PowerChurch training video series. Video series can be purchased individually or in bundles at a discounted rate! We will be adding new series in the future.
