Leadership Development 101 is a training course specifically designed for junior leaders aged 11-17, who are serving (or soon to begin serving), in an area of local church ministry.  Whether you have junior leaders serving in children’s or youth ministry, worship ministry, welcoming, technology, administration or in any other leadership role, this course will develop their leadership as they serve in your church.

At the end of the course they will receive a certificate, but more importantly knowledge and insights that will be beneficial throughout their lives as they lead in ministry, school and workplaces. We are praying for this generation that they will find belonging and purpose as they follow Jesus.
