This leadership development class is intended to help you grow in your leadership at home, in the church and in the city of Green Bay. While all are encouraged to take this intensive training, it is a prerequisite for any woman who wants to serve on the Women’s Ministry Committee in the future. In addition, any men who take this class will finish half of the officer training material, making any further training shorter.
