Your journey in Christian leadership begins with the understanding that all true leadership flows from a heart surrendered to Christ, committed to serving others, and dedicated to advancing God’s kingdom on earth. As you grow in knowledge and experience, you’ll discover that the greatest leaders in God’s kingdom are those who learn to serve with humility, lead with love, and minister with the power and wisdom that comes from above.
