2026 Leaders of Christian Organisations (Senior Leaders) Network

The Leaders of Christian Organizations Network: Senior Leaders Track seeks to equip experienced leaders to direct the continent’s Christian churches and organizations in a way that ensures the greatest impact for God’s Kingdom. This Network seeks to provide practical wisdom, useful leadership insights, and biblically-based solutions to key problem areas, as well as to encourage leaders facing key organisational challenges. This Network also addresses significant issues that experienced leaders may encounter, from how to deal with their own assumptions of personal integrity and virtue, to topics like strategic planning, vision-casting, time management, and delegation, prioritising organisational objectives, and assessing finances and resource development.

Each day will incorporate mixed modes of learning, combining expert input, working on live leadership issues, working through tools and frameworks that you can take away and apply back home, time for peer learning exchange, and the opportunity to pray together as fellow leaders. We hope this will enable each participant to contribute from the richness of their own experience in leadership, as well as providing space and support to apply learning to the specific leadership challenges and opportunities you face. 

Prior preparation will be set for all applicants.

What Network Participants Are Saying

• "I knew I needed help and training, and ELF is an answer to that need. I feel really encouraged to continue investing in Christian leaders who will impact the church, universities, the marketplace, and the world."
  - Annayiz Goutier, National Leader of Students for Christ, Belgium
• "As the leader of an organisation, I had the ability to be inspired, encouraged, and empowered to do more effective ministry through the Forum’s Leaders of Christian Organisations Network. Through the Forum I see the huge potential to develop skills and ministry connections through the Forum’s Networks. These are potential peers and partners for future ministry. I have learned much and developed skills and character for my work." 
  - Samuel Cekov, Executive Director of Ambassadors for Christ, Slovakia
• "I participated in ELF this year for the first time, after 28 years of full-time ministry. The leadership training has been fantastic and the worship God-focused. I have connected with many like-minded brothers and sisters. I plan to come back next year, hopefully with my entire leadership team."
