The Academy helps you develop the skills necessary to ensure the continued health and growth of your church and the people in it.Programs focus on professional development in finance, management, and leadership for religious leaders. The Academy provides custom-designed workshops and webinars for church leaders with topics ranging from financial management, fundraising and board development to communications and information technology.
