Resources for equipping the next generation of Christian leaders for excellence in ministry
Now more than ever, God’s church needs biblically trained leaders who will lead with boldness, compassion, and integrity. The Moody Theological Seminary (MTS) for Global Leadership Center was created to stand as a beacon of transformation in Christian leadership education and practice.
The Center aims to inspire and equip current and future Christian leaders through one-hour webinars, half-day workshops, and two-day leadership conferences. Annually, there will be nine webinars, three workshops, and one conference.
Diverse, relevant, and practical topics will address real-life issues for experienced or emerging leaders, delivered by outstanding subject matter experts both in person and virtually. The Center will also offer a customized mentoring program by experienced, well-known Christian leaders. The two-day leadership conference will feature top ministry practitioners and provide printed resources. We aspire to integrate theological and biblical principles with the most current leadership best practices, fostering leaders who are deeply grounded in their walk with God and His Word.
The MTS Global Leadership Center seeks not only to educate but to nurture a culture of excellence, godly character, collaboration, and service among its students and constituents, empowering them to excel in ministry.
