Spiritual Lay Leadership Training
Equipping the Saints for Spiritual Leadership
See what one church says about the Built on the Rock Leader's Pack
"Our Pastors, school principal and all the leaders in our church, and their families (who we very often overlook) need our ongoing support in so many ways. I personally will continually look for ways to care for these people."
Elder at recent Spiritual Lay Leadership Training event
"Since sponsoring the Lay Leader Training, I feel more cared for than any other time in my 20 year ministry. My lay leaders now regularly seek me out and pray for my family and I. It has made a huge difference for my wife and me."

Each person attending the seminar receives a study guide for note taking during the seminar and personal review, and everyone receives an easy-to-use handout on “Proclaiming God's Forgiveness.” A small group Bible study version is available for purchase at the seminar for follow-up and sharing with others. We offer a selection of resources at our seminar book table for Bible studies and other teaching materials, personal coaching, and further study.
"The congregational leaders at our church have transformed the way they conduct business. Every board has adopted the practice of beginning with Bible study and ending with meaningful prayer. The overall environment of the congregation has improved!
