Curriculum

This transformative master’s class is designed for current and aspiring leaders who are passionate about discipleship—knowing, growing, and going in alignment with the ministry mandate of Matthew 28.

Over the next eight weeks, we will explore and embrace evolving leadership models within the 21st-century church and marketplace, all through the lens of discipleship. As leadership paradigms shift, adaptability becomes essential. Effective leaders must be both coherent and contextually responsive to the call of making disciples.

In this course, we aim to equip leaders with the tools and mindset necessary for impactful discipleship training. Our focus is not only to deepen your understanding of the purpose and intent of discipleship but also to empower you to lead with greater influence and adaptability—for the cause of discipleship.

Are you ready to shift your leadership for greater impact?
