Foundations for Church Leadership
Selected courses especially designed to help build a leadership team focused on multiply disciples.
Foundations of Church Leadership is a pathway designed for helping pastors and elder boards build a leadership culture focused on disciple making and equipping all the saints for ministry. Every church is different. So, in the foundations package, we focus on helping you to design a contextually appropriate leadership pathway.
