Custom Programs

Leadership Education at Duke Divinity designs and develops customized offerings by teaming with denominational offices, congregational leaders and others to assess needs and facilitate learning experiences that strengthen individuals, organizations and systems. Our competencies include defining educational outcomes; designing interactive educational experiences; recruiting an interdisciplinary faculty; and reflecting on the theological assumptions that undergird an organization’s mission.

Our recent work has included an ongoing program serving bishops, who come together twice a year to develop a deeper and richer theological imagination and build their own capacities as leaders facing such challenges as globalization within the church, deploying pastors and encouraging innovation. We also work with a group of large-church pastors to explore the particular needs of their congregations. Additionally, we have facilitated a conversation with denominational leaders about the way a denomination's history influences its future.
