Description

This teaching series on Starting Well by Dr. Paul Leavenworth and Richard Clinton is designed to share Biblical principles and practical life lessons that will help you in your process of Christian growth and ministry development, particularly in the early stages of your life in ministry. We believe that there are biblical principles, if applied, that will help Christian leaders to start, live and lead, and finish well in their lives and ministries.

To this end, we have designed this teaching series to facilitate insight, evaluation, and application for the following goals:

  • Provide an overview of Biblical principles and concepts that relate to building a strong foundation for a lifetime of effective ministry.

  • Impact your heart as well as your mind.

  • Create opportunities for personal evaluation and application.

This is part one of the three-part Well Trilogy that also includes Living & Leading Well and Finishing Well. These courses and the corresponding books can be done in any order. However, if you are in your first ten years of ministry, we strongly recommend beginning with this one. Courses for for the other two areas are available on Udemy as well. Please consider taking those upon completion of this course if you haven't already.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is best for those in the first third of their ministry career, calling, or experience. Likely the first 10 years of ministry leadership.
  • This course is also valuable for those working with those early in their ministry career.
