This robust training has been created for non-ordained congregational leaders (usually lay leader and/or paid staff) who have been endorsed by other leaders in the congregation (the minister, or the board in lay-led congregations).

Leadership Development Teams
Many congregations only think about developing new leaders around the time that the nominating committee is looking for potential board members. Instead, we?recommend that congregations see leadership development as part of an arc of faith development that includes not just leadership skills, but also leadership sensibilities and faith development.?
This training uses the?5 "I's" of Leadership Development: Identify, Invite, Inform, Involve, and Inquire.
This training is free.
