This is a trustworthy saying: “If someone aspires to be a church leader, he desires an honorable position.”
- 1 Timothy 3:1 – NLT
We believe that a desire to be a better leader in God’s house is a Godly desire and ambition. However, becoming a leader requires more than desire, it requires commitment and training. Advance is for those looking for their next step in growing in their ability to lead a few people well and in how to be a Biblical leader. Semesters start each Spring and Fall.
