The Leadership Institute at Allen Temple seeks to help and nurture women and men to develop and maintain responsive and responsible leadership in the church and community that is adequate to meet the challenges for community peace and wholeness. Persons who are engaged in grass root ministries in congregations and social agencies will be trained for transformational leadership that will emphasize empowerment, social advocacy, and justice that speaks truth to power. We will promote student growth. We shall assist students to grow in personal transformation and personal development.
