30 for 30
An Immersion into Leadership Growth
The 30 for 30 Initiative is a cohort of young leaders from across the denomination, creating a potential pipeline to future leadership positions in the Covenant. By learning and growing in their leadership abilities, these 30 young leaders, all in their 30s, increase their capacity and develop key competencies to step up to key leadership roles. The cohort represents a deep investment in the future of the Covenant. While 30 for 30 does not guarantee a future call, it does create stimulating and challenging environments for younger leaders to be stretched and to grow spiritually.
30 for 30 Seeks to
- Develop leaders in their 30s who already demonstrate high capacity
- Create access for emerging leaders across genders and the multiethnic mosaic
- Complement the good work local churches and conferences are already doing to cultivate leaders
- Connect experienced mentors with leaders of the next generation
- Model and jump-start other leadership pipelines in local churches and conferences
- Instruct and inform on conference and denominational leadership dynamics, governance, structure, and strategic processes
What We Do
Each cohort lasts two years, with three retreats per year, to provide participants exposure to different contexts. Core competencies are developed around the leadership stool, a model presented by David T. Olson in his book Discovering Your Leadership Style. The 30 for 30 Initiative explores and deepens understanding of these key areas and how to apply them to ministry and conference/denominational leadership.
