Home >> Leadership Forum
The
Leadership Forum, a series of Christian speakers, was launched in December
2005 to provide instruction and encouragement to people who serve as
leaders in their churches, homes, community and workplace. Based on
positive feedback from participants, we are back for a second year.
This year's series features an interesting cross-section of nationally recognized leaders in the fields of business, non-profit management, government and sports. We pray they will challenge you to lead and live with newfound purpose.
Events begin at 7:00 p.m.
