Developing Student Leaders

What it would mean for our churches, our communities, and the Kingdom if every student recognized their individual leadership style, unique gifts, and sense of purpose and confidently declared the Good News of Jesus with their lives?

What could mean for your students if every adult leader in your ministry were not only passionate about identifying and calling out the leadership potential in each student, but were also equipped with practical tools and leadership principles to help those students become the unique leader God has designed him or her to be?

This course, Developing Student Leaders, includes (1) 10-minute training videos, (2) a downloadable outline, and (3) a fun, interactive, quiz and reflection platform.
