Overview

Christian leaders are essential partners of pastors in leading the church and carrying out the Gospel mission under God’s will. Accordingly, LTS has prepared theological study programs for lay leaders to enhance their theological knowledge and ministry skills, as well as the will and spiritual development to serve better. Catering to Christian leaders who serve in different ministerial positions, apart from holistic training, many special topics are available, such as diakonia, counseling, and missions, to meet the needs. Besides, programs related to society, workplace, and family relations are also available to help Christians live out their mission and testimony.
