The entire journey is guided by a certified Cohort Director and processed in a cohort of peers. Your equipping will take your ministry leadership to the next level.
Program Overview
The Heart & Soul of The LEAD Program
Is a unique blend of online learning, retreats, practicums, relationships, readings, coaching, Scripture, & practicality. Essentially, we are creating environments for the Holy Spirit to shape and equip you to be a ministry leader.
HOW LEAD WORKS
COHORTS: Journey Together
Students work through the LEAD Program in small groups called cohorts. Cohorts are made up of 5-8 people who meet once a month for Cohort Gatherings. Students may be able to meet locally, or join digitally because of distance. Every cohort is led by a Certified Cohort Director.
SEMESTERS: Paced Learning
The LEAD Program is 5 semesters broken down over two and a half years. A semester is made up of 6 months, with students having new assignments and meetings every month. Every semester ends with a one month break before the new semester begins.
RETREATS: Give Awareness
At the beginning of Semesters 1 and 3 students will retreat with their cohort. Launch weekend is how the lead journey begins. These are regionalized retreats. The beginning of Semester 3 students will attend the relational leadership weekend with their spouse if they are married.
COACHING: Individual Attention
During the semester, a student will meet for one hour monthly with their Cohort Director for individual, ongoing development and practical implementation.
TIME: Monthly Breakdown
It has been averaged out that with all the coursework, reading, paper writing, and your monthly cohort gathering, the LEAD Program requires around 24-28 hours a month. 5 hours a week is all you need to set aside to be on top of your work and ready to engage!
