Prepared to Lead

Church leadership training cohort
developing leadership wisdom & skills

Online Training sessions Mondays at 10:00-12:00

Most of us struggle with some degree of imposter syndrome and our front-loaded seminary training can seem distant as the years pass and the challenges keep changing.

Prepared to Lead will give you the wisdom and skills you need to lead yourself, your team and your church in ways which are godly and effective, healthy and fruitful.

Sessions are taught by Richard Coekin, Matt Waldock, Ray Evans, Rachel Sloan and other experienced ministry leaders. Course content and dates below (subject to change).
