The Leadership Development Course (LDC) is a 6 week intensive training for those with a minimum of 5 years leadership experience.
Birthed out of Seamill Centre in Scotland, LDC's are now located around the globe bringing needed evaluation and focus for leaders and teams.
The course dives into the phases of growth of a leader’s life, mentoring, team building, direction setting and much more. Practical one to one mentoring, peer mentoring, workshops, ministry times are all vital parts of the course.
Get time away from your present responsibilities to seek God.
Understand your gifting and calling for a clarity of focus.
Gain a knowledge of your phase of growth as a leader.
Learn specific skills in leadership and mentoring.
Have team leadership and participative leadership style modeled.
Enjoy an environment for special encounters with God.
Using a lot of discussion, the teaching style utilizes question times, role plays, games, exercises and hands-on workshops to help you learn and assimilate the teaching.
All participants meet weekly with processing groups and peer groups. The teaching is modeled by staff, and is filled with practical application and assignments.
The course is all about you as a leader — developing yourself and then others on your team. It’s not just about accomplishing the task but building up the people on your team in the process — as Ephesians 4 puts it, “equipping the saints for the work of ministry.”
