Leadership Lab 2025: A Transformational Week of Faith & Leadership
What if you could experience 14 weeks of faith formation and leadership training—in just one week?
That’s the power of Leadership Lab.
Leadership Lab is an immersive, faith-based leadership development experience for high schoolers (having completed 9th grade), young adults (18-23), and faith leaders (both lay and rostered). Whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time or have years of experience, Lab equips participants with practical skills, deepened faith, and a supportive community to lead in the church and beyond.
Through engaging small groups, interactive worship, and intentional mentoring, participants grow in confidence, discover their gifts, and practice leadership in real time. Each person is part of a developmentally tailored track, ensuring meaningful learning and opportunities to lead within the Lab community.
Why Leadership Lab?
With so many summer ministry opportunities—mission trips, Vacation Bible School, and confirmation camps—it’s easy to fill the calendar. But Leadership Lab offers something different: In a world where connection, purpose, and authentic leadership are more important than ever, Lab provides a space where participants are seen, encouraged, and challenged to embrace their role as leaders in the Church and in the world. Whether you attend alone or with a group, you will leave more equipped, more connected, and more confident in the ways God is calling you to lead.
More than a camp—this is leadership in action.
Leadership isn’t just something we talk about at Lab—it’s something we practice. Every participant, whether in high school, a young adult, or a faith leader, engages in intentional leadership formation, bringing new skills and deeper faith back to their communities.
