Leadership Development

Leadership Is Key

We believe that strong leadership is the most important component to a successful Prayer Chaplain Program.  The ability to create influence and hold individuals accountable, create an environment of teamwork and respect, and establish strong boundaries and hold them firm even in the face of resistance are all important aspects of the leadership skills that are required of an effective Prayer Chaplain Program leader. This perspective is not limited to the Prayer Chaplain Program but has relevance to leadership within all organizations, non-profits, and particularly ministries.

We recognize that while Trainers or other ministry program leaders may receive everything they need to start or assume leadership of an existing program, good leadership skills are not attained over night and may require a commitment to self discovery and personal development.  While every one of us is born with the ability to be a strong leader, not every one of us expresses strong leadership.

To that end we offer suggestions for a number of resources that we feel will be especially important to the leadership of a Prayer Chaplain Program and other ministry programs as well as opportunities to gain increased knowledge through trainings delivered by Light and Love Ministries.
