A Micro-Site is a gathering of people who are committed to glorifying God by helping equip people to change their world. It embraces our three values and keeps Manna’s Name, Logo and Growth Track. (Those who start and lead Micro-Sites will have received additional training through another Step in our Growth Track—MultiStep)
