ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP CONCENTRATION

The Organizational Leadership Concentration is designed to train students for leadership and managerial roles within a variety of settings, whether in the church or society at large, with a focus on Christian ministry. An integrated sequence of courses builds upon a solid foundation of biblical and theological instruction to equip students for responsible, transformational leadership in support of an organizational mission. Graduates are uniquely prepared to lead with integrity, skill, sensitivity, and in conformity with institutional and personal values.

If you are passionate about high-impact work and want to lead organizations with integrity and skill, this concentration is for you.

Davis College more than prepared me for where I am today, giving me wonderful learning opportunities that extended beyond the classroom. During my time at Davis, one of the most meaningful aspects of my experience was the relationships I formed—both with professors and students. Now that I have graduated, relationships and networking continue to form the basis of the work I do at my church in North Carolina. The most important thing I learned was that success isn’t just about what you accomplish in your life, it’s about what you inspire others to do.
