Leadership Development

Learning as You Serve

   "... But let him who is the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as the servant."

Luke 22:26

True leadership is by example and in the role of the servant. HOJ Leadership Development is the process of learning how to lead while serving others. Teaching and training equip one to deal with various situations, but the true character of a leader is formed while serving.

Accountability and humility are the underpinnings of HOJ Leadership. The essence of accountability is accepting responsibility for the proper stewardship of what we have been given as well as delivering more than expected. Humility enables leaders to learn from the ones they serve. Developing leadership qualities is an objective of every endeavor HOJ undertakes – to the point where every individual served is taught and equipped such that after being the “student,” they then become the “teacher."

From an administrative point of view, the HOJ Leadership Development is grounded through a faith-based Bible Study Fellowship. This time of fellowship and teaching serves to strengthen our core value of "faith working through love." We also teach within the scope of "understanding the times" to encourage a bold, living faith response to the world around us. Through Leadership Development we have made room for a strong expression of intercessory prayer through a caucus of state-wide intercessors who serve to impact, through prayer, our state and nation as well as our world. This calling of intercession is critical to any endeavor that attempts to serve the hope of restoration of people and the land. Through this many connections are made to impact home, family, community through "coming alongside" to aid and assist the mission of restoration.
