The local church plays a central role in God’s plan for redemption and restoration. To fulfil its redemptive potential, every dimension of a local church needs to win, to be a highly effective part working synergistically with the rest of the church under the guidance of the senior pastor. The Bible uses the metaphor ‘shepherd’ for those called to lead, feed, and protect God’s flock. Whether you are called to lead a church, to lead a church-based ministry, or serve effectively in a church, this track is designed to grow your leadership capacity, theological perspective, and ministry skills in local church context.
