We live in a time in history that abounds with examples of failed leadership. In contrast, we are convinced that godly leadership is essential to any ministry that reflects the precious news of salvation in Christ. Leadership that looks and feels like Jesus. We know that as we lead in ways that please the Lord our teams and ministries will flourish in fruitfulness.
This ministry is built around three key ingredients needed for successful leader development: a stretching leadership assignment, sound teaching, and effective mentoring. We work in cohorts of leaders and mentors for very senior-level leaders as well as mid-level leaders. The leaders are matched with experienced mentors who guide them through self-directed growth areas of leadership skill and character. The mentors grow in their discipling skills. The leaders grow in character and competence.
The philosophy of leadership that we teach is based on the biblical images of the loving shepherd, the humble servant, and the faithful steward. Learning to share leadership with gifted co-leaders is a key component of the approach. As we grow in unity as leaders, our mission teams are continually drawn towards Christlikeness in life and in ministry.
