Leadership Training

We are looking for those who know that they are leaders - who have had some college experience or other training… yet, they know there is still something more! These are the types of world-changers we are looking for - entrepreneurial thinkers - those that dream big and want to help others dream even bigger…

Young people are looking for where they fit in life.  They are looking to find themselves and understand how they can serve God in this modern world.  Many are looking for ways in which they can develop their leadership skills.  The typical vehicles for pursuing this skill development are inadequate.  A job in a secular company may afford good training, but often also exacts a price.  Business schools or seminaries are often too academic in their approach.  Young people want training that is personal and experiential.  They want teachers who will not only impart knowledge and life skills to them, but who will love and mentor them.  The G42 Leadership Training will do exactly that.

Other distinctives:

• Emphasis will be on the practical and experiential.  Students will be given the opportunity to develop and manage their own ministry.
• The servant leader model will be the paradigm around which all teaching is developed.
• Students are given the opportunity to lead projects as a practicum, later debriefing their experience.

Gainesville, GA

Community Life / Internship

We're starting our first leadership training / community living in Gainesville, GA, in Sept 2008. Applicants must be 18 - 31 years old, and ready to learn what it means to 'be the church.' Time will be spent in living in community, being mentored, skill development, ministry, travel, and an internship. Participants will live in houses in the residential area of Gainesville, and experience what it means to share. Mature men and women of God, who are leaders in Adventures In Missions (AIM), are ready to pour into the participants. For more information or to fill out an application, please check out the AIM Leadership site.
