Spiritual Leadership, Christian leadership

Spiritual Leadership

Spiritual Leadership is an 8-week online Christian leadership course that equips Christian leaders to embrace Jesus’ servant leadership model and dependence on His Heavenly Father.

Practical challenges, including family, conflict, and personal limitations, are discussed honestly with strategies to deepen character, spiritual life, and ministry capacities.

Spiritual leadership is not an occupation – it is a calling. God is not looking for charismatic, strong, attractive people – He looks for obedient servants to use. A title does not make a leader.

George Barna states, “The American church is dying due to a lack of strong leadership. In this time of unprecedented opportunity and plentiful resources, the church is losing influence. The primary reason is lack of leadership. Nothing is more important than leadership.”

Churches have adopted a CEO model for pastors to measure success by. Attendance numbers, revenue, and amenities are considered signs of success. Spiritual leaders follow God regardless of popularity or pressure. A spiritual leader’s responsibility is to move people into a deeper relationship with God, not to fulfill earthly expectations. The Israelites clamored for a strong worldly leader. God gave them one, and the results were disastrous.

Join us for this Christian leadership course to revive your leadership calling and vision, renew your excitement for service, and embrace Jesus’ model for leadership.
