Christian Leadership in Contemporary Contexts

About The Course

In this course, we develop a biblical theology of leadership and explore biblical frameworks that shape leadership, with particular focus on the transformational servant leadership model exemplified in New Testament material.  We emphasise the importance of reflective practice for faithful Christian leadership. We also cover a range of practical leadership issues, such as team building, managing change, handling conflict, and emotionally intelligent leadership.  

This course is designed to equip Christian leaders working in a range of vocational fields, including but not limited to local church ministry.
