Transform your leadership in an environment where greatness inspires greatness

Join this network of ever-growing, world-changing leaders and pastors who are driven for the future of the Church. 

We are passionate about multiplying influence through investing in our leaders. The SEU Lead Institute is about becoming a better leader — an exclusive opportunity to challenge yourself through world-class education, be challenged by others through cohorts, and to be mentored by seasoned leaders.

SEU will be launching regional cohorts at Celebration Church (Austin, Texas) and at Ohio Ministry Network (Columbus, Ohio) in the fall of 2022.

About the SEU Lead Institute

This innovative program will give students earning the MA in Ministerial Leadership the opportunity to learn from and gain access to key leaders, and to grow together in community through various in-person gatherings in different regions of the country.

Apply Your Studies to Your Ministry Experience​

Take what you are learning and apply it to the ministry you lead as you connect concepts with practice to enrich your ministry for years to come. You’ll benefit from the opportunities to connect and dialogue with other ministry leaders on the same pursuit as you. Small groups, round table discussions, and other gatherings and conferences will add to the richness of this experience.
