Cultivating Leadership

Those who carry the responsibility of leading others in the Christian life aren’t promised an easy ride. Quite the opposite! Before we lead anything or anyone, we’re called first to follow the Servant who was obedient even to the point of death on a cross.  

That’s a radically different place to lead from than where the world would have us start. Yet the biblical vision and pattern for leadership is rich and beautiful, and when we look closely we find it’s far more cohesive and comprehensive than all the world has to offer.  If we embrace the deepest truths of scripture as the foundations for our leadership, we will cultivate whoever and whatever God has given us to lead with wisdom, dignity, security and confidence that are, quite literally, super-natural. 

This course will NOT teach you everything you’ll ever need to know about leadership. But it will help you to

• recognise how a biblical worldview – from the first words of Genesis to the glorious hope of the new creation – transforms the way we approach the leadership of God’s people. 
• apply familiar truths to the tough realities of leadership. 
• see both the value and limitations of what we find in secular leadership models through the perspective of scripture, and learn to draw wisely on good common-grace resources. 

Our hope is that this course will refresh you with new perspectives and skills to lead the people amongst whom God has placed you, within your God-given limits and gifts, humble yet secure in the knowledge that God – who is good, and gracious, and great, and glorious – is the Lord we follow.
