LEAD 2019

LEAD creates space for Christian leaders to be vulnerable and courageous, connects them around their hopes for the future, and equips them to bring those hopes into reality. LEADers see a vision of the kin-dom of God and are willing to go through hell to get there. We support them on the journey.We believe that LEADers are… Courageous, Collaborative, Vulnerable, Relational, and Hopeful.
