TLC is a regional resource and training hub for leaders throughout Ohio and North/Central Kentucky. The events listed below reflect this regional initiative. We are pursuing opportunities to expand our offerings and partnerships across the country. Please contact us to schedule events in your location.
The Equipping Leader Series
New series beginning in August 2009!
We are pleased to offer a 10-part leadership formation series focused on Equipping Leadership, in a learning community format. We welcome opportunities to offer this series in other geographical locations in weekend intensives. Flyer. Participate in the entire series, or join in for selected sessions. 10% discount is available when registering for the entire series.
This training series is not a typical training program. It truly is a formation experience. The series is designed around our copyrighted Equipping Leader Developmental Cycle. The series consistently brings rave revues. We are preparing to launch our fourth cohort of participants. We are publishing print resources that accompany each module of the series. These booklets will enhance individual leaders' growth and development, and can be used to train your teams in your local congregation.
Testimonies: Here’s what course participants had to say: “This class was transformational in my leadership. I moved from understanding equipping leaders as something you do to leaders [to understanding equipping] as something you do in yourself and with [other] leaders.” “The course content far exceeded my hopes and expectations.” “[This class] is undoubtedly the most beneficial learning opportunity I’ve experienced in my eight years of ministry within the church.” “I am forever changed and I receive my call.”

"Sustainability: Leadership for the Long Haul" workshop
Date: Wednesday, May 6, 2009
Time: 9:00am - 2:00pm
Venue: Northeast Christian Church, Lexington, KY www.ncclex.org
Highlights: Sustainability in leadership is critical. You want to have a long and fruitful vocational ministry. More importantly, you want to have a healthy and vibrant life. In pursuit of this fruitful life and ministry, your life may feel frenetic and out of balance. There is a way out. We introduce the "Bagel Effect," a concept that radically re-defines the notion of "self-care" and "balance" and leads you toward recovering and experiencing the biblical reality of God's gift of shalom.
