Leadership in Community is a spiritual formation curriculum that engages new or seasoned missional leaders in the foundations of missiology, leadership theory, and missional leadership practices and tools. The curriculum explores three major topics important for missional leadership, all of which build upon one another: the missiology, community, and ethics of missional leadership. These themes are explored through a spiritual formation practice called Lectio Missio, an expansion of Lectio Divina that incorporates missional themes and practices.
