Advanced Leadership Development

Advanced Leadership Development is a hands-on, two-year course that gives you the opportunity to develop your understanding of leadership from a Biblical perspective.

During the course, you will work as a full-time volunteer staff member with us. While you may spend a portion of your two years in Papua New Guinea and other areas in North Queensland, your home base will be our campus in Townsville.

The course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need in order to lead others. Your training will include a combination of classroom-style learning, practical application, and mentoring. Your practical application could include leading a ministry area, leading an outreach team in Australia or Papua New Guinea, leading a project, facilitating training, or even pioneering a new initiative.

During the course you will have the opportunity to grow in the following areas:

• Understanding your unique leadership style
• Project management
• Financial management
• Coaching and mentoring
• Emotional intelligence
• Team building
• Strategic problem solving and decision making – using the Appreciation Process method
