Flourishing Leaders

This course is designed to facilitate Spirit-led transformation so leadership teams can discover ways to lead a flourishing church together.

Course Summary

We believe that our primary call as church leaders is to abide in the Lord’s presence and invite others to join us there. Flourishing Leaders takes this call seriously and seeks to make it a reality amongst your leaders. We want to help move your leadership team from the corporate boardroom to the Upper room. We want to help your leadership team effectively, prayerfully, and competently lead the church as the mission of God.

Flourishing Leaders is designed to facilitate Spirit-led transformation so that leadership teams can discover more effective ways to lead a flourishing church together. We invite you on a 3-part journey to embark on with your fellow elders, lay leaders, committees and/or staff. Flourishing leaders are foundational to leadership development and to promoting healthy church ecosystems - where congregations can flourish.

This resource is designed to be more than just informational. It can help you recalibrate your leadership team, which sets the stage for learning and transformation within your leadership community. It will help you to move head knowledge to heart knowledge for growth and change.  

This online resource provides information via video teaching, spiritual growth activities, group discussions and on-site retreats. It encompasses individual growth exercises, group experiences, and practical teaching grounded in theology to help your leadership team understand how God wants you to lead. The goal is to foster a new type of leadership community and to develop deeper spiritual roots, and to establish connections so that we can grow flourishing disciples who become flourishing leaders that lead flourishing churches!

Thoroughly enjoyed and was blessed through this curriculum! The atmosphere was very calming and pleasing. Gave me the sensation of ‘wanting’ to be there instead of being a mandatory requirement. The lesson clearly broke down and itemized the different areas of the subject. I am looking forward to participating in this curriculum at our Session Retreat, as a group. Although writing a Spiritual Autobiography seems to be a daunting task, it is an intimate way to connect with God, to bring to mind all of His blessings and interventions in our lives, and also to be brutally honest with our Heavenly Father regarding our past hurts, pains and trials. Thank you very much for this training!
