CenterPoint Institute is a ministry of “CenterPoint Eatonville” and exists to train and equip leaders to impact, affect and lead Christ’s bride the church. Our mission is to provide college level ministry tools and skills in a positive Christ-Centered environment where practical, relevant education equips and empowers leaders to impact lives for eternity. “Leadership”The intent of CenterPoint Institute simply put is to develop capable, well-equipped ministers. The goal of CenterPoint Institute is to help you change and grow in 4 areas: Personal Character, Leadership Development Skills, Mentoring Skills, and Relevant Ministry Skills. These “real world” tools and ministry skills will supplement and enhance the Biblical knowledge you are receiving through other church ministries and your own personal study of God’s Word. CenterPoint Institute is a tool to help fill the leadership and effective ministry vacuum that now exists in the American church. Our goal is to equip well-trained, relevant, effective ministers and leaders for the 21st century church. I want to extend my appreciation to you for taking the next step in your personal and ministry development. CenterPoint Institute was developed to begin to fill the leadership gap within the church. If we are to obey Christ by winning the lost to Him, equipping disciples and releasing ministers, then we must build great leaders… not just ordinary leaders, but great leaders who know how to initiate and lead change, cast a compelling vision, overcome conflict, and most importantly reproduce themselves in the lives of others. I am thrilled you want to be part of this exciting vision. My hope is that much fruit will grow out of your intentional leadership development. Let us pray together for healthier small groups, passionate ministers and ministries, and the multiplication of churches themselves. The curriculum is based on the qualities and skills needed by successful, godly ministers, whether lay or professional. Three contemporary books that address these topics are chosen, the choice based on the desires of the CenterPoint Institute leader and the maturity and needs of the specific class members. The CenterPoint Institute curriculum is based on 3 workbooks:
