Living Stones Modules are designed for men and women in a variety of church leadership settings. Some pastors include our modules as part of their ongoing professional development. They also provide elders, emerging elders, and ministry team leaders with a comprehensive training programme.

Our plan is to release several Modules each year, depending partly on the availability of our teaching team, and partly on the requests we receive from individuals, churches or clusters of churches. Please contact us if you are interested in one of the modules (individually) or if you would like to explore the possibility of several people in your church enrolling in a given module

Each of the following modules offered in 2010 commence with a one-day Introductory Seminar, are 12 weeks in duration, and conclude with a two day Integrative Seminar. They have a reading component, the study of a biblical book or passage, and either a life-on-life mentoring project or a leadership project that harmonizes with your current ministry and who God has designed you to be.

The modules have the following seven elements to facilitate optimum growth

1. Transformational Mentoring. You will be mentored by one of our Mentor-Teachers on a regular basis.
2. Leadership or Mentoring Projects. These projects will help you apply what you are learning
3. Biblical Learning. Every module will help you get a major section of Scripture under your belt.
4. Life-Transforming Readings. You will read outstanding books and articles.
5. Dynamic Learning Experiences. Our Introductory Seminar (one day), Integrative Seminar (two days) and online learning system provide maximum opportunities for learning to occur
6. Quality Teachers. All our Mentor-Teachers are experienced church leaders and have high theological and ministry credentials. They are men and women who model Christlike servant leadership

The Living Stones School of Church-Based Leadership is for maturing leaders in your church -- people such as:
  • Elders and emerging elders in need of training in their important and demanding role.
  • Pastors and pastors-in-training who simply can’t leave their church but need ongoing development through a church-based mentoring option.
  • Ministry leaders who want to gain more biblical and theological depth.
  • Emerging leaders that you have ‘tagged’ for future leadership responsibilities.
