The Currey Creek Leadership Team
At Currey Creek, our vision is clear: Growing Disciples, Expanding the Kingdom. This is our calling to move beyond consuming information about Jesus and into a transformational faith that actively shapes our lives. We exist to make disciples who Exalt God, Engage the Culture, and Equip the Christ Follower.
To move this vision from aspiration to reality, we must be intentional about empowering people for ministry. We believe leadership development is a core component of discipleship. At Currey Creek, we define it this way:
To put this core conviction into practice, we have created the Currey Creek Leadership Pipeline.
The Leadership Pipeline is a clear and intentional pathway designed to help every person at Currey Creek identify their next step in leadership and receive the equipping and discipling necessary to faithfully serve in their calling.
