Woodside Leadership Institute

The Woodside Leadership Institute was created to help current and future leaders develop their God-given potential. It is here that leaders will grow personally and experience the deep satisfaction of knowing they are making a valuable contribution to the Kingdom of God.

Here at Woodside, it is our desire to develop and multiply leaders. We want to move into this world, following God’s lead, with a sense of urgency and intentionality in sharing the Good News that transforms and redeems people and communities.

Jesus taught his disciples, personally mentoring them and giving them access to His life. He also immersed His disciples in real-life mission. They saw that ministry was not an organized event, but it was a way of life and something that they did together.

We will read, process, and reflect on some of the best writings and books available related to ministry, leadership, and most importantly, the Bible. Interns will also participle in weekly Leadership Intensives taught by our Campus Pastors and other Ministry Leaders.

Our Interns will be assigned a ministry coach and will meet with them on a weekly basis to process what they are learning and what God is doing in their hearts. Our Ministry Coaches are experienced practitioners committed to the personal and ministerial development of our Residents.

Our Interns will be invited and challenged to see mission as a way of life. They will be provided with opportunities to serve and exercise their gifts, both inside and outside of the church.

Throughout the Scriptures we are told that fellowship is vital for our spiritual growth. During the Internship, there will be special times of fellowship and fun.
