NYSB recognizes how important effective leaders are to effective church ministry.  The Church Leadership Certificate is a 8-course program to help equip, as well as to help sharpen, the skills of today’s church leaders. The writer of Hebrews (13:17), admonishes God’s people to “have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account.  Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden. . .” (NIV 2011)  This program has been designed to help equip, as well as to help sharpen, the skills of today’s church leaders, so that both those leading and those being led will experience joy!  An effective leader is one who guides and/or inspires others.  No matter what your leadership role in the local church may be, join with NYSB and discover how God can make you even more effective in what He has called you to do!
