Leadership Development
Everything rises and falls on Spirit-anointed leadership
The Great Lakes Region serves to equip pastors and staffs with Leadership Development tools, provides support to local boards and churches during pastoral transitions, and helps to build the pipeline of our next generation of leaders through the GLR Residency Program.
WHAT WE DO
Leadership starts with YOU!
As you develop your leadership skills, know you don’t have to do it alone! Leadership doesn’t have to look lonely. Our cohorts are designed for growth and connection where pastors and leaders can grow in community over curated topics and sharpen one another towards spiritual and personal growth.
Check out our offerings for the fall and choose the cohort that best suits your growth and connection needs!
We believe in the importance of raising up leaders within our local body. In order to do this we offer a pathway to help students through the Wesleyan Church’s Ministerial development process.

We understand the difficulties of a switch in leadership and want to help you through this process in recruiting God’s BEST person for your church. From job posting templates to interview guides, we have you covered.
Contact either Jack or Sue and they’d be happy to assist in any transitional needs.

It’s important that those assisting in large decision making understand the roles that they play and the power they have. We want to help you and your board understand the value in the chair they are siting in.
