Hill Country School of Leadership

2013 Spring Trimester

March 25 thru May 20

The Purpose Behind Hill Country School of Leadership

Hill Country School of Leadership was born out of seeing the need to prepare leaders for tomorrow’s church and affect generations for the King of Kings. Our objective is to not only equip present and future leaders for the work of the ministry, but to build passionate followers of Jesus who will be an example to the world around them. As we live in times of uncertainty and the foundations and institutions of man are being shaken to the core, there remains one Kingdom that cannot be shaken, and our purpose is to train uncommon leaders who will bear witness to generations about that Kingdom!

2013 Hill Country School of Leadership Courses are offered on a 9 week trimester basis:

Course Descriptions

Jesus in the Old Testament – Part 2

When Jesus walked with 2 disciples on the Road to Emmaus, the scripture says, “beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself.” This will be an exciting class of discovery as we examine the unity of the Old and New Covenants and see pictures of Jesus in the ceremonies, sacrifices, feasts, days, events, and persons within the OT. He truly was the fulfillment of all that was written about Him in the OT!

 

Acts of the Early Church – Part 2

Acts is such an important book to break down and examine for today’s church to see the model that the Father was intending His church to look like. Our goal will be to go chapter by chapter to discover truths and blueprints for our lives so we can in turn continue to produce the acts of the church.
