Laddership Curriculum
Online training and training for Kingdom leadership.
The purpose of a ladder is to help someone attain greater height. Our Laddership Curriculum is designed to train leaders who lay down their lives for those they serve, to assist them in gaining more of the presence, promise, and power of the Kingdom of Christ, and realizing more of the upward prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
In the Laddership Curriculum of The Ailbe Seminary, you can study at one of two levels. As a Auditor in any course, you do as much work as you like. Watch the videos. Peruse the resources. Whatever meets your need and available time. If you register for Credit in a Certificate Program, we will provide you a course Reader to help you in working through all the sessions and assignments for each course, and to record a final “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory” grade for your coursework, and to guide you into the next study in your Certificate program. Be sure to indicate on your course registration form which level of study you prefer.
