Mission Statement

Developing skills for future leaders

Program Description

Develop leaders for the perpetual growth and enhancement of the Kingdom: in-home, family/church, work environment, and community.

We seek to identify, equip and advance a core group of individuals with diverse backgrounds to assume greater leadership roles. The program will consist of one Saturday session per month for 4 hours. The program will span 15 months.  

During class time we will discover, define, and develop a network and enhance skills needed to elevate and propel ministry. Additionally, Macedonia’s Leadership Institute serves as a model for churches that strive to educate and develop leaders.

Purpose

The Macedonia Leadership Institute’s goal is to increase the participation of thinkers, shapers and planners at various skill and knowledge levels.  We will endeavor to:

- Provide and develop leadership strategies
- Cultivate spiritual leadership
- Provide direction in developing and implementing initiatives
- Equip participants with tools to develop people
