About Us
Our Mission
"To provide servant leadership development skills for present and future key church leaders."
Our Vision
We envision the church's vision of the ministry of all believers. (Ephesians 4:12-14)
The church is always both local and universal. Christian leaders must be willing to embody Christ as the leadership model for ministry and mission. We believe leadership development includes all of life’s processes. We believe individuals have been created to learn and designed to develop. Leaders are shaped by deliberate training, influence, and experience. To realize the vision of the church as a dynamic learning community challenges us, but we believe it will not overwhelm us.
Our Core Values
Services
Networking with the mission of leadership centers in the world church, the Bradford-Cleveland-Brooks Leadership Center provides continuing education for clergy and non-clergy to sharpen their understandings and skills in the principles and best practices of Christian leadership. The center conducts ongoing research in management and the social sciences. The principles and practices taught at the center are designed to equip men and women who sense God’s call to service and to senior leadership who have increasing responsibility to encourage the development of current and emerging leadership in the church and its institutions.
Current program offerings include seminars in organizational assessment and information surveys for congregations and conferences to facilitate decision-making. On-site services include congregation and district revitalization, church administration and leadership development. Contemporary issues facing the church and its unique mission such as women’s ministry, the Sabbath in Africa, ethnic diversity, multiculturalism, among others, are essential discussions in each council.
Internet webinars offerings are available online, including spiritual formation, and prophetic preaching, conflict management, the art of leadership development, leadership styles, media technology, stewardship Cultivation, church organizational structure, church governance, coaching, and more.
“The greatest want in the world is the want of men (and women)—who will not be bought or sold, men (and women) who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men (and women) who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men (and women) whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the people, men (and women) who will stand for the right though the heavens fall” –Education, 57.
Jesus modeled servant leadership, leading by example. He said,
“I came to serve, not to be served” –(Matt. 20:25-28).
