Ministry Leadership

Certificate in Christian Leadership

Gulf South Leadership Institute offers a Certificate in Christian Leadership designed to equip and develop aspiring and involved leaders for vocational or lay ministry. The Certificate Program is designed with flexibility and convenience in mind. This certificate is available for leaders serving within churches, Para-church organizations, or faith-based non-profit organizations and is geared towards laying a solid biblical foundation for ministry. The Gulf South Leadership Institute’s Certificate in Christian Leadership is an eight course program totaling twenty-four (24) semester hours. These classes can be any combination of biblical text classes and leadership training and development focused classes.

Seminars and workshops

Leadership seminars are offered periodically and usually over a weekend in-between class modules. These leadership seminars are open to all leaders and aspiring leaders. Seminars will in some cases have a general focus, and in other cases focus on a specific area of leadership or ministry. Seminars will be scheduled on a one-day basis and in some cases on a day-and-a-half schedule, depending on the material to be covered. The Gulf South Leadership Institute will be featured at various Christian conferences in the Greater New Orleans Area and the Gulf South Region to present leadership workshops to encourage and equip ministry leaders. The institute will also host conferences in its different locations (Slidell, New Orleans East, Mandeville, and Kenner) focusing on a specific area of Christian ministry (e.g. Worship, Christian Education, Small Groups or Discipleship) or a specific aspect of leadership (e.g. Servant Leadership, Transformational Leadership, or Value Based Leadership).
