Laidlaw Centre for Church Leadership was established to help Aotearoa’s church leaders navigate the challenges of a rapidly changing landscape.
An increasingly polarised and complex world needs healthy churches which embody the good news of the Gospel more than ever.
The Church herself needs transformative and resilient leaders who can discern the times and contexts they lead in and equip their congregations to be active participants in God’s renewing work in the world. Healthy leaders are committed to their own growth for the sake of the communities they serve, both in and beyond the Church.
They recognise that their best leadership comes in the company of others. Laidlaw Centre for Church Leadership (CfCL) was established in response to these genuine needs in the Church today. CfCL's heart is to bless, love and serve as Jesus did.
We believe healthy church leaders cultivate healthy churches, that in turn undertake the work of the Gospel in their communities. CfCL is committed to holistically supporting, resourcing and growing leaders to lead in ways that increase the Church's faithfulness and fruitfulness in ministry and mission in Aotearoa.
