This short course (available only as a download) is designed to prepare church leaders to focus on their role as spiritual leaders and to function as role models or examples for others in the congregation. Although this course was designed as a refresher course for local church lay speakers, it may be used for leadership development in any setting.
At the end of this course the participant will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of prayer in the life of a spiritual leader
- Formulate a prayer appropriate for a group and lead prayer in a group
- Understand and be aware of small-group dynamics, including use of conflict transformation principles
- Learn about the Wesleyan understanding of Christian conferencing and prepare a meeting agenda to ensure time for Christian conferencing
Participants will use two of the What Every Leader Needs to Know series (WELNTK) texts with this PDF-formatted course. Below are the links for the revised WELNTK series booklets now available for purchase in PDF format:
