The Church is God’s “Plan A” for transforming peoples’ lives through the redemptive power of the Gospel. Yet, today’s church leaders feel lonely, isolated, mentally and emotionally exhausted, and inadequate. Come and discover the tools needed to keep moving forward in ministry.
When leaders are healthy and thriving in their private (backstage) lives and their public (front stage) lives, the Church has a much better chance of being the beacon of hope God created Her to be.

Leadership Seminar History
Manhattan Christian College hosts a variety of events throughout the year to educate, equip, and enrich Christian leaders outside of the traditional classroom.
The Leadership Seminar has been an outreach ministry of Manhattan Christian College since 2006. Each one is designed to provide practical information on current and future ministry issues facing today’s church leaders. The low registration price makes it possible for multiple people from the same congregation or ministry staff to attend together, i.e. lead pastors, elders, Sunday School teachers, church staff, and any ministry leader who relies on volunteers.
