What Is Servant Leadership?
Simply put – it is stepping down to push others up. It is to lead the way both Jesus and the Apostle Paul taught and modeled.
Why Is Servant Leadership So Important?
There are many traditional entrenched systems and whole power structures in churches and Christian organizations that are badly broken. These systems attract narcissists and corrupt otherwise good leaders, and as a result many people are wrongly hurt under the name of Jesus.
These systems are not Christian but most believe they are because – tragically – this is all they have seen and known among believers. This is the age of deconstruction of the Church and the faith – but this just leads to more brokenness and piles of rubble. We must reconstruct the Church by going back to what the Bible actually teaches about the true nature of leadership.
It is through the understanding and practice of true Christian servant leadership – as scripture clearly insists – that the church can be rebuilt and its people can be salt and light in a world that has increasingly closed its ears to Christians.

How Do We Build Servant Leadership Communities?
Our approach is relational from the ground up. We don’t believe that coming in and making big speeches is what brings change – it’s in being with, knowing, and empowering people that new paths forward can be created. To that end, our approach involves
- Education regarding what the Bible says about leadership in small and large group settings
- Facilitation of conversation to flesh out important ideas and perspectives for moving forward
- Equipping, Encouraging, and Empowering teams and individuals to work through the challenges they face
