CORNERSTONE
LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
WHAT IS IT?
We believe that when Jesus commissioned His disciples to bring transformation to the nations He also commissioned us. As Jesus followers our goal is to see people step into their Identity, Authority and Assignment as they release hope and life to the city, and beyond, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Cornerstone Leadership Academy is a 2 year programme, which has been designed to build a strong foundation in the lives of those who feel called by God towards leading others towards life and releasing hope into their communities, and beyond.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
There will be two key elements to the Academy, the Education and the Application.
The educational platform will be hosted by Vineyard Training. There will be 10 core modules (outlined below) to study, with the option of adding ‘elective modules’, which will be more tailored to your particular calling.
True transformation doesn’t occur with the addition of information, but only when that information becomes revelation: when it’s applied to our life. Each person enrolled in the academy at Cornerstone will be given opportunity to ‘apply’ their learning in context, ie. leading bible studies, preaching, taking a leadership role in a team environment, starting new ministries that release hope into the city and more.
The Academy will be a ‘flipped-classroom’ model, where all the modules and learning blocks will be delivered in a video-based format, which can be watched and studied from home. Once a week the study group will gather together online and/or in person and discuss the week’s learning. Each learning block will be followed by a short test, to be completed online. At the end of each module, there will be another test and a short essay to be written, somewhere in the region of 300 - 500 words. The writing does not affect the grades or marks, but it is to reflect on your learning from the completed module.
