Comprehensive Leadership Formation, Leadership Development, and Mentoring

Our founders established SHIFT Leadership to create a dynamic, comprehensive leadership development and mentoring program that promotes self-awareness, creativity, meaningful relationship building, and self-differentiated leadership. Our team of experts is committed to helping pastors develop their skills and resources to serve their communities better.

Our comprehensive curriculum consists of three core areas: pastoral well-being, agency, and imagination. Our training and support programs aim to equip pastors with the skills and resources necessary to lead their congregations effectively. We are passionate about creating a supportive, holistic environment for pastors to reach their full potential in ministry.

How This Program Can Help Pastors Thrive in Ministry

The SHIFT Leadership program provides pastors with the support and guidance they need to fulfill their callings effectively. In addition, our comprehensive leadership development and mentoring program focuses on helping pastors build self-awareness, creativity, meaningful relationships, and self-differentiated leadership.

The program offers individual and group mentoring, as well as team mentoring. In addition, through webinars, podcasts, and small cohort groups facilitated by experienced pastors, we provide pastors with the tools and resources necessary to develop their leadership skills.

Our Audience

At SHIFT Leadership, we work with pastors in black churches, seminarians, and other students preparing to become pastors or enter a different area of ministry. We are committed to creating an environment conducive to growth and encouraging self-exploration.

Our program is designed to serve diverse audiences and provide pastors with the skills to lead, connect and advocate for their communities.

We believe every pastor deserves support in their journey, regardless of experience or background. Therefore, we are committed to providing pastors with the support, guidance, and mentorship they need to thrive in ministry.
