Leadership skills and administrative tools that can be adapted for use in a variety of contexts from traditional to contemporary from rural to urban and from unicultural to multicultural settings;2. Spiritual formation that relates to all of life (from birth to death);3. Mission consciousness (in community regionally nationally and globally);4. Ministry of all believers (particularly calling out and equipping vocational bivocational and lay ministers); and5. Leadership competence (the ability to inspire motivate and equip the saints for the work of ministry).
