Foundations of Christian Leadership
"I participated in Foundations while serving as an Associate Pastor. The program gave me an opportunity to identify and develop my leadership style. Through the grant program, I was able to discern how my interests could align with the mission of the organization ... Now, as I serve as Senior Pastor, much of what I learned has taken on new and necessary meaning."
— Rev. Mia McClain, Riverside Baptist Church
