    0 Lessonsin Featured, Leadership Development, Philosophy and Community
    • Philosophy and Community 2024: Leadership Development - $5.00

    As CCD practitioners, we desire to foster leadership development within citizens of the Beloved community and not just clients of our programs. The core of leadership development is identifying, mentoring, retaining, and getting out of the way of leaders already in our communities. For CCD ministries, supporting and developing leaders from the community is a huge priority that requires absolute commitment; the payoff is that our communities will be filled with strong Christian leaders who love their neighbors, and have the skills and abilities to lead our churches, organizations and other institutions that bring sustainable health to our communities.
