*Availability of minor courses based on adequate enrollment. Christian Leadership & Biblical Worldview Certificate Program Overview LEARN. LIVE. LAUNCH. To prepare for the next level of leadership with a biblical worldview, unwavering integrity, and relentless perseverance, today’s Christian leaders must develop and practice the fundamentals of discipleship, leadership, character, and the community. Development in these areas is at the core of what is necessary for Christian leaders to mature in order to honor God in their service to Him and others. Discussion about the importance of dynamic Christian leadership in personal conduct and interactions with society is lacking. Starting in early education through High School, an understanding of the importance of authentic Christian leadership has been intentionally omitted from curriculums. At Williamson College we believe every graduate needs to learn how to imbue Christian leadership into all aspects of their lives. From this foundation of having their identity as a follower of Christ, we can teach and develop a discerning mindset that allows them to see the world through the lens of impactful ideologies, making our world a better place. At WC, we define Christian leaders as those who learn the principles of biblical leadership and worldview; live out their faith as authentic leaders; and launch on mission for Christ into a world full of continuous trials, struggles, and suffering.
