Leading from the Inside Out

In the Leading from the Inside Out program, students will be armed with the theory, reflection, and resources necessary to facilitate spiritual and character formation in the lives of their church leaders. This program will also equip students to pass their training along to emerging leaders in their own congregations by implementing a Leadership Central program in their churches. Leadership Central replicates the Leading from the Inside Out program at the local church level, assisting pastors in developing new leaders who are gifted and equipped for effective service in formal leadership roles.

Earning a Doctor of Ministry in the Leading from the Inside Out program requires the completion of 48 quarter credits. All persons in this program will complete seven courses, including the Thesis Proposal Workshop (Research Methodology & Design) and the completion of an acceptable dissertation.
