Why Study Strategic Leadership at Capital?

Creating and Equipping Servant Leaders

More than anything, the church needs leaders who are focused less on themselves and more on Christ. Too often, the trappings of pop culture leadership – like acclaim, influence, recognition and even fame –  are mistaken for power. Through Capital Seminary & Graduate School’s strategic leadership program, students learn the importance of true power through leading as Christ did, while simultaneously gaining practical leadership training that they can apply to their everyday lives through ministry.
