The Leadership Institute is a Jacksonville Baptist Association ministry designed to provide quality training for pastors, staff and lay leaders that is relevant, accessible and affordable in the setting where they minister.
..so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:17
There are 3 general observations that can be made about the development of a leader:
- God develops a leader over a lifetime. An effective leader is one who not only has a vision for his church, but is learning the new skills that will be needed to lead the church into that future.
- God uses people, circumstances and ministry assignments to shape the life of a leader. Romans 8:28.
- Leadership plateau is often indicative of a developmental need or growth issue within a leader's life. Effective leaders maintain a learning posture throughout their life.
