The best place to discover the call of God on your life and to nurture His gifts within you is in the heart of His House, the Church. A 21st Century church that is relevant, faith filled and life changing is the ideal environment for leadership and gifting to develop as you practically outwork what you learn on a day to day basis.
Here is an overview of life on The Leadership Academy.
The Training Centre
The Leadership Academy Training Centre finds its home in the flagship base of one of the UK’s largest churches. The Megacentre is a thriving community and premier conference centre in the heart of Sheffield and home to the Sheffield congregation of Hope City Church.
Facilities for students include lecture rooms, a fully equipped IT suite and lounge. Students also have access to the Megarelax Coffee House which is a part of the Megacentre facilities. Whilst at the Training Centre students will be involved in a range of specialised lectures and workshops, community practical work and their chosen Elective Streams.
Hope City Church
At the end of 2012, Hope City Church will be operating in 9 congregations over 11 locations including – Sheffield, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham and Lancashire as well as Frankfurt (Germany), London, Accra (Ghana), Preston & Wharfedale.
With a senior leadership team that has a proven track record you will spend your time at the Megacentre receiving training and instruction from leaders who have a great deal of experience to share. You will also have an opportunity to be part of pioneering mission work in Europe and Africa.
Partner Churches
If you belong to one of our Partner Churches you will receive your theoretical and practical training at the Training Centre in Sheffield whilst still being fully involved back home.
During your time in Sheffield you will have the opportunity to work alongside the key ministries and leaders of Hope City Church and then return home each weekend to outwork your training under the guidance of your Partner Tutor and local church leadership. You will also receive training and instruction locally to complement what you learn on the main part of the course.
Sheffield
The City of Sheffield is one of the country’s most exciting cities with recent urban developments making it one of the greenest and most attractive livable cities in the UK.
With The Megacentre situated right in the heart of Sheffield you will only be a quick walk from the vibrant culture of city centre life, with some of the key attractions on your doorstep, including the newly developed Peace and Winter Gardens, museums, theatres and a fantastic shopping centre. You can also hop on a short bus ride and you’ll find yourself deep in the Peak District National Park, a region of incredible natural beauty, or in one of the UK’s largest shopping centres – Meadowhall.
