All courses take place on Friday night 7-10pm and Saturday morning 9am-noon at Crossroads Church, 775 Garrison Ave., Morgantown, WV 26505. Stay tuned for the announcement of future dates!
Christian Leadership
Hard times and a hostile world require us as Christians to lead with a distinctively Christian understanding and practice of leadership as we lead our homes, organizations, teams, businesses, governments, and small groups both in the present time and in the very near future. Humans are always in need of servant-leaders who take responsibility for others, and we’re in need of careful thought and concerted effort to lead through troubled times before God and for the sake of the people we each are called to take responsibility for.
