This program is an intense course for ministry leaders in the executive level, non-profit administrators, and church staff and leadership. The course takes students from a basic understanding of proven principles of leadership to the strategic, organisational, financial and other structures of an expanding, strong ministry.

We perceive the Church as a living organism, with demands in terms of worship, mission, and administration to survive and grow in a complex and modern world.

This program is exclusively for Christian leaders, who have been in leadership for not less than 10-15 years in active service
