The Leadership KIT

"Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up."
-- Apostle Paul's letter to the Church at Ephesus, Chapter 4, Verses 10-12

While Christ-followers believe in one faith, one God, one baptism, we are still humans who struggle with sin, especially when relating to others, who come from different places, cultures and denominations, bringing diverse peoples and temperaments into lifelong relationships.

Leadership sessions improve church health by practicing inter-personal skills that employ Biblical solutions to conflict management, collaboration and communication.

KIT's interactive relationship workshops and leadership blogs offer hands-on guidance to our fully human responses by studying Scriptural insights, New Testament letters and Christ in Crisis.
