Caleb Leadership Institute

Education Division

There are two separate, yet equally important, groups of leadership in the church. The first is pastoral leadership. The second group is the lay leaders of the church. Caleb Leadership Institute ministers to both groups separately. Therefore, there are two separate classes that follow the same basic guidelines, with emphasis on different areas to better fit the needs of the audience.

Vision Statement

To further equip and train leaders.  This educational ministry integrates the understanding of human dynamics and leadership development within the framework of an expositional study of Scripture. 

Objective Statement

To produce a church leader that can administrate and develop ministries, has an understanding of human dynamics, and can rightly divide the Word of Truth.

Function

Caleb Leadership Institute serves God by serving those who are in Church Leadership, through a three chord integrated program of Biblical Theology, Psychology and Management/Leadership.

Theology

The objective of this strand is to challenge the student to study Scripture from an expository point of view.  Integrating the Old Testament with the New Testament, and progressing from a micro perspective to a macro prospective of Scripture, we believe will enhance the student’s ability to rightfully divide the Word of Truth.  Our two-fold emphasis-first, regarding one’s vertical relationship with God, and secondly, understanding one’s horizontal relationship with their fellow human beings-is designed to create a more holistic perspective of Scripture.  It is our desire that the student will move away from the tendency to find selective passages of Scripture that support their personal value system or philosophy of life, and instead, allow Scripture to, as G. Campbell Morgan says, “speak for itself.”

Psychology

The simplest definition of the science of psychology is that psychology is the study of human thought, feeling, and behavior. We believe that Scripture clearly, directly, and comprehensively speaks to the dynamics of human thought, feeling, and behavior. Within the confines of Scripture lies the methodology an understanding of all of life’s relational issues.
Academic excellence and professional techniques must be subservient to the revelation of Scripture for true PASTORAL COUNSELING to take place. The following list of human struggles will be addressed and analyzed from a biblical perspective; anxiety, depression, anger, shame, communication, sexuality, conflict resolution, guilt, grief, insecurity, love addictions, stress, money, jealousy, control, and freedom. All of the above dynamics can be counseled within the parameters of God’s horizontal commandments.
 This Philosophy of Pastoral Psychology will include: skills, methodologies, techniques, and knowledge of the academic schools of personality development.

Module One:

Theories of Personality and Counseling Techniques

Six major schools of psychology will be introduced along with counseling techniques needed for individual marital and family counseling.

Module Two:

Exploring the fundamental skills of attending, listening, responding, and observing needed for lay counseling.

Leadership and Church Management

The universal church has never lacked for competent preaching or teaching. However, a glaring weakness of most churches and ministries is their administrative management. In addition to quality management, the Body of Christ is demanding a higher level of integrity and creative vision from it’s leaders.

The Management track of Caleb Leadership Institute is designed to address the above concerns. The balance between character and competency, along with vision and relational compassion must be developed within an integrated methodology. Spiritual, Personal, and Relational Dynamics are emphasized throughout the program.

The journey begins with Spiritual Leadership and ends with Relational Leadership. The character attribute of trustworthiness must precede inter-personal relationships. This trust is built upon a mutual value system revealed in Scriptures. Character without competency only produces futility and frustration. Character and competency without vision creates stagnancy. Character, along with competency and vision, but without relational compassion, creates conflict. It is our conviction that an integrated balance of these proposed CORNERSTONES of LEADERSHIP will produce a new GENERATION of LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE.

Module One:

Ethical Leadership

A challenge for leaders to make righteous character, prayerful communion, obedient conduct, and single-purposed commitment their most valued assets.

Module Two:

Leadership Style and Philosophy

No single style of leadership or philosophy is right. However, every leader is responsible for a defined vision and methodology, motivating others to “FOLLOW”

Module Three:

Development Leadership and Body Ministries

Leadership in this day and age demands a new perspective of relationships. We must prepare “tomorrow’s” leaders by mentoring “today”.
