Leadership Resources
Training and resource materials for developing effective leadership skills and qualities for the Corps Officer and local officer.
Disciple-making ministries make disciples who make disciples. As individuals grow in their faith and its expression through life and ministry, disciple-making disciples need to be developed. As emerging leaders are entrusted with new responsibilities, their further development and growth in faith is vital. Leaders are learners. As leaders develop new vision and opportunities for mission and ministry will emerge - which in turn can lead to new opportunities for outreach and evangelism, spiritual growth & development, and ministry & service. Disciple-making ministries should always be forward-looking, developing and encouraging emerging leaders and an expanded vision for ministry in their community and world.
