Strategic Leadership in Church Operations – Workshops by 4Twelve Academy

 

Would you like to be a more biblically strategic and operationally competent church layleader, elder or pastor in an increasingly complex environment?

In today’s Christianity where church leaders are expected to be effective in managing one’s church in the dynamic marketplace, it certainly requires one to not only have spiritual depth in the Word, but also a strategic and operational clarity, organisational competence, and cultural intelligence in church management to operate in a complex operating environment.

The advent of AI and technology, the growth of a more educated populace and congregation; whose lives and living are shaped and impacted by digital disruptions, economic pressures, generational shifts, and pluralistic values — a need had arisen where church leaders of the future are expected not only to acquire organisational management ability, but also critical people skills to complement the governance of churches, biblical pastoral shepherding of God’s people; thereby ensuring a continual and sustainable church mission anchored in Christ. Learn how to strengthen your leadership competency at the following 4Twelve Academy introductory workshops:
