Seminar Streams this year at Spring Harvest

Leadership Masterclass

Four sessions, taking place each morning, aimed at equipping local church leaders, this programme provides stimulating, provocative and practical teaching from people who have proven leadership skills.

An opportunity for church leaders to engage with issues about how we teach, help and enable people to “live distinctively in an age of uncertainty”. These sessions will take material from each day’s learning zone in order to apply it to our churches.
