Leadership Certification Program
Developing and cultivating the abilities of women is one task of this department, and one to which we are committed.
This certification program is the joint effort of many women who have given of their time and abilities unselfishly. Without them this project would never have been completed and we thank them from our hearts for their input.
The curriculum for this program has been divided into eight subject areas. They are:
• History and Philosophy (HP)
• Biblical Studies (BS)
• People Skills/Personal Growth (PS)
• Speaking Skills (SS)
• Leadership Skills (LS)
• Writing Skills (WS)
• Nurture Projects (NP)
• Outreach Projects (OP)
Due to the many subjects covered in the curriculum (about 58 in all) it was decided to divide the program into three levels. Each level will contain seminars from each of the eight subject areas of the curriculum.
In order for certification to be awarded the participant must complete the required courses in a particular level—these are called Core Requirements. In addition to this, the participant must also complete three other seminars of their choice from among the remaining courses, called Electives.
Each level will be implemented at the conference/mission level on a yearly basis. This means, in four years a participant will have completed all four levels and received four certificates.
We are aware that there are seminars in this course that a participant may have covered before, e.g., Self-Esteem, Discipling New Members, etc. In such cases that course can be omitted and credit will be given.
It is our desire to see women who are called of God for service in these last days empowered to lead. We know that many of you have eagerly awaited this material and are glad that we can finally do our part to meet this need.
Following is an outline of the courses—Core Requirements and Electives—covered in the program.
There are four levels to this program: Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each level is outlined in this brochure. This includes required seminars (those you must do to qualify for certification) and the elective seminars (those that you are free to choose from in order to make up the 10 seminars required for certification for each level). Take careful note of which subjects are required and which you may choose. Level 4 does not include electives, only core requirements.
