FUNDAMENTALS OF TRANSITIONAL LEADERSHIP (FTL) TRAINING

A New Course of Transitional Leader Training for A New Day

FTL CORE – LEVEL TWO – MODULES 4 & 5

    Adding Modules 4 & 5 (15 hours each) to Level 1 modules provides an excellent foundation for transitional leadership and will give you full confidence in your ability to serve in a transitional leader role. Note: The FTL Core is equivalent to the former FTML/FTMC course of study and the preparation for intentional interim ministry required by some denominations. These modules are open to all.  These modules are also good choices for those previously trained in transitional leadership who are looking for a refresher or general continuing education.  

    • Modules 4 & 5 can be taken in any order, with or without taking the Module 1-3 Essentials sequence.  
    • Each Level 2 module consists of 5-6 sessions, 2-3-hours each, over 3-6-week periods. 
    • These modules will be offered 2-3 times per year.
