Developing Leaders
	With Harry Jackson George Barna, Randy Pope and Brad Smith

Ministry growth and leadership development go hand in hand. Without a strong, growing leadership team, a senior pastor will find it difficult to meet the ministry needs of his congregation. We know God gifts certain people within a church with the potential to become leaders, but how do you identify who those leaders are? How do you help them develop their gifts to provide effective, creative leadership?

On February 11, you'll have the opportunity to hear from two Senior Pastors, a church consultant, and a researcher -- all of whom have been involved in leadership development for decades. They'll share
important principles and practical ideas that will equip you to identify and enhance the skills of the leaders involved in your ministry.
