Arrow Leadership Programme

JMcKee_0.pngWelcome to the Arrow programme. Arrow is for leaders aged 25–40 who are committed to Christian discipleship and have a deep desire for greater Christ-like leadership. The aim of the programme is to equip emerging leaders to be led more by Jesus, lead more like Jesus and lead more to Jesus. 

 

Who is it for?

The programme is designed for those who are:

  • Aged 25-40.
  • Already in leadership positions in their church or organisation (either ordained or lay) at the level of overall leader (vicar, minister, CEO) or leader of an area with responsibility for other leaders (director of youth etc.).
  • Desiring to be more Christ-like in their leadership. 
  • Want to increase their effectiveness. 
  • Seeking to clarify their calling and vision. 
  • Willing to be challenged, developed and changed!

 

 

 

'The carefully blended triple focus on leadership, evangelism and character is unique and catalysing.' 

Rich Johnson, vicar in Worcester, and New Wine National Leader

 

What does it involve?

Arrow creates transformative experiences that engage, stretch and release leaders for present and future resilience in Christian ministry. Over 18 months, we focus on areas such as character, self-care practices, the challenges of Leadership, spiritual disciplines, personal management, managing conflict, vision and mission, communication and much more!
