We will gather to advance and lead the mission, vision, and culture of Olivet Church. As leaders in Olivet’s mission, our primary purpose is to cohesively train up new leaders as we continue to grow and lead ourselves. There is no single greater force in leadership than developing a vision-led culture that people want to follow. Everything we need to learn about leadership (vision, purpose, strategy, communication, attitude, encouragement, mentoring, and follow-through) can be found in the pages of God’s Word. Let’s learn from the best leaders who ever lived: the men and women in the Bible. Leadership is for everyone, because every person who accepts Christ is called to influence others.
