Life and Leadership Course

An important New Testament principle is that if you would lead others, you must serve others.

Life begins with dependence, then moves to independence. This is a time when we discover (if we are wise) who we are, what we can do and what our limitations are. Interdependence is a higher value than either dependence or independence.

This course looks at  our relationship with God, with one another and with ourselves, in order to equip us to live the way God wants us to, in interdependence with others.

The aims of the course are taken from Ephesians 4, 11-13

·        To prepare God’s people for works of service

·        To build up the body of Christ

·        To increase unity in the faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ

·        To enable participants to be more mature Christians in their attitudes and actions

·        To enable participants to become more Christ like in all aspects of their lives

 Course material is drawn from a number of Christian sources on life and leadership skills.  Even if you don’t currently see yourself as a potential leader, followers needs to have these skills too!

Tea and coffee will be provided.
