Many individuals want to become better equipped learners and leaders in the local church.  Leadership Contact is designed for men and women who desire to deepen their knowledge and sharpen their skills for greater ministry impact in the local church, without the costly time and expense of seminary education.  Whether you are a lay pastor just starting out, a pastor wanting to upgrade in a ministry area, or a lay person wanting to sharpen you understanding and skills in a particular area of church life, Leadership Contact may be just what you need.

These classes are open to all, without any educational prerequisites. They are not seminary level courses and do not earn credit from Evangelical Theological Seminary. These courses may be applicable to pastoral credentials for some denominations and do meet the requirements for the Local Preacher Course of Study in the Evangelical Congregational Church.
