Applicable to both existing organizations and those starting new movements, this practical seminar guides students into a biblically-based, principle-driven approach to leadership development. Jesus himself started with those who were not religious, he lived life and practiced ministry alongside them. Following this pattern cultivates a leadership development process that starts with evangelism and results in the multiplication of disciples, leaders, groups, ministries, churches, and movements. Failure to incorporate the DNA and the processes of leadership development that Jesus used results in less effective leadership development, and truncates the potential growth for the kingdom. This course is designed for leaders who are tired of the status quo, and are ready to see Jesus raise up generative leaders that multiply all levels of ministry. The process will be challenging, and transforming.
