Leadership Starter Course

Seasoned leader? New to leadership? Break through leadership barriers and advance your skills with this new course!

The Leadership Starter Course is an 8-week deep dive into what it takes to move beyond surviving in ministry but thriving. The #1 factor in burnout and failure in KidMin is not a lack of volunteers or resources, it’s leaders who do not embrace or understand who and what God has called them to be and do. The shift from “doer" to “developer” is the biggest and most beneficial step to taking your ministry and leadership to the next level! In this course we will explore from start to finish how to transform yourself into a leader of leaders and your ministry into a sustainable and healthy volunteer lead ministry. Here are the topics we will cover together:

1. Shift from Doing to Developing

2. Shift from Me to We

3. Shift from Struggling to Structured

4. From

5. Tools for Team-Based Leadership - Part 2

6. Cutting Burnout Off at the Pass / Healthy Sustainability

7. Lies Leaders Believe

8. Championing the Change
