Dear Pastor,
Just as Paul did, you notice people like Timothy, Titus and Priscilla among the members of your congregation. You can sense that Jesus is guiding them towards church leadership. And yet, it's clear to you that they need to sharpen their skills, such as gaining a deeper understanding of the Bible and a broader perspective on key church teachings.
That's exactly what we do at the Church Leadership Center. We offer an opportunity for you to partner with us in training these leaders of our community - while STAYING invested with your church - no need to go away for training!
competencies
Certified training based on developing competencies for your emerging ministry leaders.
Our CLC approach is to nurture the essential competencies for general Christian leadership, and not to focus on broader and more varied individualized skill sets that are often needed in specific ministry leadership roles. We do not discount these things but focus our ministry investments on the central teachings generally needed at the heart of all ministry leadership in the Christian church.
