Purposeful Investment: Developing Leaders

DEVELOPING PASSIONATE LEADERS

Just as Jesus chose and trained leaders to carry on the work of the gospel after his life on earth, so we seek to raise up passionate leaders who desire to follow hard after him. Paul followed the lead of Jesus and also chose men to partner with him (i.e. Silas, John Mark, Timothy, Luke, and Titus). He taught, trained, and sent them out to serve and lead churches.
