To raise leaders of Biblical excellence and integrity in character and lifestyle, thereby yielding results in the home, workplace, church, and the community worthy of the call as true followers of Jesus Christ.

​COURSE DESCRIPTION
​Integrity in Action is a workshop-based leadership training program designed to create Christian leaders who walk in the Biblical standards of Integrity. It is meant to position Christian leaders in their respective callings, including business, church, ministry, and government.
