Leadership Institute
Equipping Disciples for Their Work of Ministry
We believe every follower of Jesus has a role to play in the world. The Leadership Institute is a nine-month cohort learning experience which combines classes, spiritual formation and practical application to equip people in finding, developing, and sustaining God’s unique calling on their life.

We call this the Ministry of the Saints, which means that each individual contributes to the body of Christ.
PBC has been training people to do this since the 1970’s!
