"The Institute for Servant Leadership exists to equip
Christians
to be effective servant leaders in the local
church."
The ISL was
formed first in the minds of the Area Administrators in the
five state area of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania. The initial vision was cast by Don Smith in
1987 who was serving as the Assistant State Minister of
Indiana. His dream was to educate Ministers and Lay leaders
in the practical application of church growth principles and
to teach a methodology for churches to embrace and
practice. The Five Church System was the first framework
that the curriculum was designed around and currently the
ISL teaches the Natural Church Development system which is
designed to bring churches to health with the understanding
that healthy churches grow naturally.
We meet
for two weekend sessions a year in the Fall and Spring for
12 hours of instruction.
