Leadership Network exists to work with the few to help the many. We find kingdom innovators and then help them connect with others like them for encouragement, inspiration, solution finding, productivity enhancement and general sharing so they can learn from each other. Our role is to foster innovation movements that activate, equip, and enable THE CHURCH to thrive.
