Growing Leaders
As Christians we are all part of the body of Christ with gifts to use to His glory. At STwSS we are committed to developing those gifts into leadership to be exercised in the church, at work, at school and in the family.
The Growing Leaders course involves one evening a month (and a couple of weekends) over a year, and the next course starts in September.
Growing Leaders 2010–11
Growing Leaders is a course to help you grow in faith, in an understanding of how God calls us, and in leadership skills. You do not need to be a ‘leader’ to go on the course. This year it will run from September 2010 to July 2011 meeting once a month and with two weekend residentials. For more information talk to Simon Gates or Betsy Blatchley.
James Lawrence's Reading List
James Lawrence designed the Growing Leaders course and wrote the book to accompany it. In it he includes a resource list. He does not agree with all the books listed, but they are all worth reading.
Bill Hybels' Reading List
Bill Hybels is the senior pastor at Willow Creek Community Church and runs the annual Global Leadership Summit, which the STwSS leadership team has been attending for the last few years. Hybels’ book list is a good starting point for developing your own leadership.
