Welcome to

Lead Academy

Becoming Highly Skilled & Deeply Formed

Our Vision

The vision of Lead Academy is to focus on two absolutely critical developmental areas: leaders that are both highly skilled in their leadership, but also deeply formed into the likeness of Christ.

We desire to raise highly skilled and deeply formed church leaders – leaders who carry both competence (skill) and Christlike character (formation) into the leadership of churches.

Lead Academy is an immersive learning experience and atmosphere that both enlarges leaders’ capacity and forms them deeply. 

Our Values

The Lead Academy’s philosophy, approach and culture is shaped by our five key values:

Humility: Pursuing God’s glory and the good of others above personal ambition.

Intentionality: Living with purpose and discipline.

Community: Learning together and fostering a unity that reflects Christ’s love.

Curiosity: Cultivating an eagerness to learn, ask questions, and seek wisdom.

Integrity: Integrating our lives as leaders – the “within” and the “without”, the personal and the public.

LA exists to form leaders who are both highly skilled and deeply formed into the likeness of Christ.

"Our dream is to open the doors for every single leader in our pipeline to receive world class leadership training and development."
