Are you ready to lead differently?
Every day someone doesn't see themselves as strong enough, confident enough, bold enough, or experienced enough to lead. But those fears don't stop them. They're leaders who take risks, innovate, disrupt the norm, break tradition, follow their calling, faithfully impact lives and build God's beloved community.
They're driven by their passion and faith. They desire to change the world through Christian communities. Passionate, faithful people don't simply change the world by thinking differently. They change the world by leading differently.
This course is designed to equip you with the tools you need to cultivate meaningful connections, understand your calling, provide spiritual care, and create ecumenically diverse experiences for students, faculty, and staff through campus ministry.
