Come to the Table: Leadership Intensive 2027

Leadership is more than a position—it is a calling. Join us for Come to the Table: Leadership Intensive, a transformative two-day experience that equips current and emerging leaders for faithful, Christ-centered service.

Through engaging teaching, meaningful discussion, personal reflection, and practical application, participants will explore three essential dimensions of leadership. First, they will learn how to grow as disciples who lead like Jesus, developing the character, humility, and spiritual foundation necessary for Kingdom influence. Second, they will discover how personal health, spiritual vitality, and intentional growth support effective, sustainable leadership. Finally, participants will identify and explore their spiritual gifts, gaining a deeper understanding of how God has uniquely equipped them to serve the Church, impact their communities, and fulfill their calling.

Featuring experienced Salvation Army leaders, educators, authors, and trainers, this intensive will provide biblical insight, practical tools, and encouragement for individuals at every stage of their leadership journey.

Whether you are a soldier, volunteer, ministry leader, employee, local officer, or someone seeking to grow in your faith and leadership, this event will help you deepen your discipleship, strengthen your leadership capacity, and discover new ways to serve through the gifts God has given you.
