Aim of the Christian Leadership Institute
The aim of the Christian Leadership Institute is to provide young people
an opportunity to develop skills for leadership and Christian Ministry.
The week-long experience challenges young people to share insights and
knowledge so as to grow in faith together. Through workshops, presentations,
prayer, discussions, worship, and social activities, the program addresses
the spiritual, social, and learning needs of the young people called to
LEADERSHIP.
