The Bible is an incredible book that has been studied for centuries, but it can also be challenging to understand. Thankfully, there are many tools available to help interpret the Bible correctly, as 2 Timothy 2:15 instructs us.
While supplemental tools will never replace the Bible, they can and do make studying the Bible more efficient and accurate, leading to a deeper connection with God and His people, and more excellent knowledge and understanding of His word.
Leadership 215 is a leadership development program designed to equip and empower leaders for ministry and mission.

The program is open to pastors, ministry leaders, and professionals from various industries who desire to grow as effective and influential leaders in their respective fields.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
