Leveraging Transferable Leadership Competencies to Increase Lay Leader Training Perception at New Vision Baptist Church, Murfreesboro, Tennessee

The purpose of this ministry project is to increase the perception of the value of leadership training among lay leaders at New Vision Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The result of accomplishing the project goals is to increase lay leader participation in training events, resulting in leaders equipped to take leadership competencies grounded in a biblical worldview into a variety of contexts. Chapter 1 details the context, rationale, purpose, goals, and methodology of the project. Chapter 2 outlines the biblical and theological foundation surrounding the equipping of lay leaders to lead inside and outside the church context. Chapter 3 reviews current leadership development literature surrounding the leadership competencies that are consistent in effective leaders. Chapter 4 lists the detailed steps of the project from the pre-training event survey regarding the perception of NVBC training to the implementation of the multi-session training event to the post-training event survey and analysis of the comparison of the two surveys. Chapter 5 provides an evaluation of the project’s purpose and goals, its strengths and weaknesses, what I would do differently, and theological and personal reflections.
