Founded by Bob in 1984, Leadership Network's purpose is to identify, connect, and help high capacity Christian leaders multiply their impact. Churches served by Leadership Network represent a wide variety of primarily Protestant faith traditions, ranging from mainline to evangelical to independent, and are characterized by their culture of innovation, desire to be on the leading edge of ministry, and entrepreneurial leadership. Effective churches develop leadership teams; equip and deploy the people of God for service; understand and engage the culture; build authentic community; and achieve missional impact.
Leadership Network has sought to focus on leaders who are life-long learners and churches in positions of influence to effect a wider distribution of change and innovation. In recent years, they have expanded their original constituency to include major initiatives in lay mobilization and the equipping church, denominational leadership at the middle and regional judicatory level, urban churches active in community transformation, and the next generation of emerging leaders. Undergirding all their activities is a desire to foster excellence in applied ministry that results in transformed lives and communities.
Leadership Network is now recognized as a primary resource to which 21st century congregations and church leaders turn for information, innovation, and networking.
