We offer a training course entitled Management for Church Leaders™ (MCL) which is designed to give pastors and church leaders a basic understanding of leadership and church management principles and practices. It is Biblically based and provides practical, how-to training for any church leader.

Self-Training Books
We have also developed self-training versions of each of these 2 training manuals. These books contain all of the same principles and exercises but are written out with full explanations and illustrations for self-training. These books are intended for those that are looking for church leadership or management training they can take on their own.
