OUR LEADERSHIP
Josh + Jenaye Skjoldal
“One of the things God spoke to me early on in leading a church was to be future-minded by pursuing what’s ahead while honoring the past. The Midwest Leadership Center is one of our most powerful avenues to accomplish that vision!
We are so excited to offer a program where emerging leaders can not only be trained in God’s Word but can also be empowered to operate in their God-given gifts and talents while gaining valuable ministry experience. We are proud to serve as a training ground for these leaders and humbled to play a role in equipping and commissioning this next generation of leaders. We look ahead with excitement and confidence to how God will continue to use the Midwest Leadership Center to raise up leaders in our communities. We truly believe that the best is yet to come!”
