Digging deep into the practical details of what supports a successful ministry!

Whether you are a new leader, a newly placed leader, or a seasoned leader who needs to shake things up, this 12 week course will take you on a journey through the practical structures that support a strong ministry. We will start by measuring the health of the leader and the ministry, and then set goals for improvement.
