About The J. Drew Sheard Leadership Academy
Welcome to The J. Drew Sheard Leadership Academy, a visionary initiative created to empower, develop, and inspire leaders at every level of the Church Of God In Christ—local, district, jurisdictional, and national.
Our church is only as strong as the leaders who serve it, and this academy is dedicated to building those leaders with excellence. Rooted in biblical principles and guided by the life and leadership of our Presiding Bishop J. Drew Sheard, this academy offers a space where current and emerging leaders can grow in wisdom, sharpen their skills, and expand their capacity to lead with integrity and impact.
The J. Drew Sheard Leadership Academy provides training, mentorship, and collaborative learning experiences that address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by today’s church leaders. Whether you’re a seasoned superintendent, a district missionary, a local youth leader, or preparing for greater responsibilities, the academy is designed to equip you for effective leadership that uplifts people and honors God.
Our sessions are intentional, our resources are practical, and our mission is clear: to raise up bold, capable, and spiritually grounded leaders who will guide the Church Of God In Christ into an unstoppable ascent.
We invite you to journey with us, connect with like-minded leaders, and rise to the next level in your calling.
