Biblical Leadership Certificate

“I CANNOT SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH ABOUT THE ONLINE COURSES AT NHCC AND THE EXCELLENT CARE AND SERVICE”

BIBLICAL LEADERSHIP

CERTIFICATE

by Bernie Federmann

Lompoc Foursquare Church (LFC) in Lompoc, California, celebrated twentysix church leaders and members as they completed

New Hope’s “Biblical

Leadership Certificate” program. It was God’s perfect timing that they would begin this online certificate, just before the Covid pandemic hit.

As the entire world was being told to “Stay at Home”, this online certificate program was an answer to prayer, as this was a way for the LFC community to intentionally gather together, fellowship and learn through the online training provided by New

Hope.

“When we were looking to deepen the biblical knowledge and leadership competencies of the leaders in our church, we contacted New Hope Christian College. We have had an ongoing relationship with Dr. Wayne Cordeiro and have benefited from his leadership training. With a new batch of leaders, we decided it was time to create a local church learning cohort and NHCC was so accommodating and helpful at every step of the way. We had 26 people complete our modified 27-week courses with several others auditing and learning with us. We would watch the lessons, do the quizzes and course work each week and then gather on Zoom for a review of the courses. We were also visited virtually by Dr. Guy Higashi, Pastor Larry Powers and received a congratulations video at our graduation night, from Dr. Wayne Cordeiro. Students stated that their take-aways were: deeper biblical knowledge, deeper understanding of God’s love and grace, deeper hunger for the bible, greater understanding of how to lead others well and fresh insights into doing church as a team and filling your soul with more and more of God, Himself. “I cannot speak highly enough about the online courses at NHCC and the excellent care and service provided for us by the NHCC team. We will be signing up for more courses as a group. Thanks for resourcing the local church and making us better”. - Pastor Bernie Federmann
