Leadership training designed for the real world of church leadership
Church leadership is complex and unique. Most leaders were well trained theologically, but many were never equipped for the organisational, relational, and cultural realities of leading churches today.
A leadership pathway for the realities of church ministry
The Church Leadership Academy exists to support leaders to grow with clarity, courage, and wisdom in the context they are actually leading.
Our curriculum focuses on three essential priorities for all church leaders:
Strengthening Foundations with...
Self-leadership, emotional health, spiritual maturity and resilience

Staff, volunteers, systems and organisational health
