Our Founder, Rev. Dr. Kenneth Priddy, PhD, DMin, is one of the leading experts in the world in the church health/revitalization/assessment/leadership space. He has taught at eight seminaries and bible colleges.

TELL ME WHY YOUR COURSES ARE IMPORTANT

They unlock the keys to establishing a healthy and holistic leadership and church culture.

These keys are found in Scripture

Note nothing happens in the minstry of Jesus until he initates a spiritual renewal in people he encounters.

Take the woman at the well in John 4. It was an improbable encounter with an improbable exchange and ended in an improbable outcome. His disciples were stunned Jesus was talking to her. The people in the woman’s town were stunned of her spirtual transformation. So much so that many in the “town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony.” (John 4:39)
