Leadership Development Institute
Church-Based Leadership Development
We believe that churches are uniquely equipped and commissioned for the work of raising-up future Kingdom leaders. This is because leadership development in a church context allows for an ongoing 360º view of the leader’s life by staff, peers, and members of the congregation in a variety of settings.
The Leadership Development Institute (LDI) is a ministry of Hope Community Church designed to equip all followers of Christ to explore and grow in leadership, biblical thinking, Christ-like character, and ministry skills for service both inside and outside the church.
Internships
An internship with the Leadership Development Institute (LDI) at Hope Community Church is for any follower of Christ! This is a rare opportunity to set aside a short time of your life to strength and stretch your relationship with God while growing in practical leadership skills. This internship builds a strong foundation for the lives and faith-walks of its participatnts by focusing on developing biblical thinking, Christ-like character, and ministry skills.
