Leadership Development
Developing Leaders to Help Communities Thrive
We believe training leaders in the communities we serve helps change the lives of people living in physical and spiritual poverty. We invest in, and partner with, North-American churches, global ministries, and local church/ministry leaders. We equip these leaders for greater local and global impact through:
- Consistent exposure to Biblical truths and leadership principles.
- Strategic training and mentoring.
- Resources and tools.
ER’s Five Keys for Developing Leaders
Program Leaders and Staff
Developing strong leaders starts with the ER team. We provide leadership training workshops, personal and work-related tools, staff retreats, and opportunities to attend seminars.
Dream Center Students Age 14+
With 200+ kids attending our Dream Centers and mobile education programs, we seek to Identify and train the next generation of leaders. This training includes youth leadership programs, retreats and camps (see Man Camp photo) as they age into high school.
Adult Vocational Program Participants
Each trainee group contains people with the ability to influence others in their community. We recruit them as leaders-in-training and invite them into monthly discipleship and mentoring. We help them grow their personal qualities (self, time, finance, family), spiritual disciplines, and interpersonal and pastoral skills.
Strategic Ministry Partners/Leaders
We love partnering with like-minded organizations. We participate in annual/semi-annual leadership training that focuses on organization operations, program development/implementation, funding and ministry trends.
Local Church/School/Municipal Leaders
We help communities thrive by identifying felt needs and working with local leaders to increase their effectiveness. This includes trauma training for local school administrators/teachers, opening our facilities for community engagement, and inviting program graduates to continue to learn, share and grow. We see great opportunity supporting local needs by inviting volunteer teams to work on community projects like painting, clean-up and renovations, and youth camps.
Our desire is to see local leaders in ER communities grow in their leadership knowledge and capabilities. If this interests you, contact us at info@extremeresponse.org.
We also work with partner organization Leader Mundial, which has a long history of training leaders for kingdom purposes. If you know a leader who desires coaching, visit Leader Mundial.
