Lifework Leadership: because your work matters.

Lifework Leadership is a eight month leadership experience that runs from October to May.

Classes include teachings from nationally-known speakers, case studies with prominent business people, current literature discussions and practical life and leadership applications.

Each class examines the life of Jesus as the best example of a leader and influencer, as well as corporate leadership best practices. This course is crafted to engage professionals on issues they face in their business and personal lives.

Practical + Spiritual Growth //

This isn’t theory. It’s a hands-on experience that shapes how you lead, how you live, and how you love others—at work, at home, and in your community.
