Ministry LEADERSHIP Track

“For this gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher, and that is why I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to guard what has been entrusted to me until that day.” 2 Timothy 1:11-12

Welcome to the Ministry Leadership Track (MLT), a transformative program designed to train, empower, and equip followers of Jesus who feel called into ministry. Rooted in the belief that leadership is a calling from God, MLT seeks to provide comprehensive Leadership Training along with advanced Biblical and Theological teaching facilitated by experienced mentors in pastoral ministry.

Vision

MLT creates a community of passionate followers of Jesus equipped with the skills, wisdom, and spiritual insight to lead and serve effectively in various ministries. We want individuals to discover, develop, and deploy their God-given gifts for the advancement of the Kingdom, the building of the Church, and the fulfillment of God’s purposes.

Purpose

At the core of MLT is the understanding that God desires to raise up leaders who not only possess the technical know-how but also exhibit the heart of a servant. This track is designed to holistically nurture individuals, focusing on both personal and spiritual growth, as well as practical leadership skills. Through intentional pastoral mentorship, participants will be guided by seasoned leaders who are committed to imparting their wisdom, experience, and spiritual insights.

Key Components

Leadership Training:

MLT offers a comprehensive curriculum that delves into various aspects of leadership, communication skills, organizational management, and strategic planning. Participants will engage in practical exercises, discussions, and collaborative projects to develop their leadership competencies.

Advanced Biblical & Theological Studies:

Rooted in the Word of God, MLT places a strong emphasis on biblical literacy and theological understanding. Participants will explore the Scriptures, gaining insights into theological principles that form the foundation of effective ministry.

Pastoral Mentorship:

Following the example of Jesus and the Apostles, MLT recognizes the importance of learning from those who have walked the path of ministry. Participants will receive direct mentorship from Hope Church’s senior pastor, who will provide guidance, support, and personal insights throughout the program.

Who is this for?

MLT is designed for committed followers of Jesus who sense a deep calling to serve in ministry and leadership roles within the Kingdom. If you have a fervent desire to grow spiritually, develop your leadership skills, and engage in meaningful ministry, then MLT is the perfect space for you.

Financial Commitment

We believe financial constraints should not be a barrier to answering God’s call to leadership. Therefore, the MLT is offered free of charge. However, participants should be aware that there may be some costs associated with purchasing books or materials required for the program. We strive to keep these costs minimal, and assistance may be available for those facing financial challenges.

Time Commitment

MLT is a 10-month commitment, from January to May and July to November. Participants will meet once a month on the first Saturday, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. These sessions will include interactive discussions, practical exercises, and opportunities for spiritual reflection.

In addition to monthly in-person meetings, participants will engage in at-home courses and complete written and reading assignments designed to reinforce and apply the concepts covered during the sessions. This multifaceted approach ensures a holistic learning experience that integrates knowledge, practical skills, and personal reflection.

Consideration

If you sense God is leading you to pursue ministry, either now or in the foreseeable future, the Ministry Leadership Track is crafted specifically with you in mind. Ministry leadership is a high and holy calling, marked by elevated standards that demand a significant level of dedication and commitment, which participants will be held accountable to. We encourage you to approach this decision with prayerful consideration, recognizing that your choice to participate is not to be taken lightly but as a genuine response to the divine call of God on your life.
