Leadership Training

The Lord is showing us that there is a need to conduct more frequent but shorter CBMC Trusted Advisor Forum Facilitator Webinar Trainings. This initiative will serve our men best while providing CBMC National a strategically flexible response in support of accelerated demand for new city startups.  Over 250 CBMC leaders have enjoyed attending and deploying this training to equip CBMC towards Vision 2030.

Testimonials

“It’s always helpful to be reminded of the big picture vision when doing mission work. CBMC Training provides an inspiring and insightful mix of both strategic and tactical perspectives. I highly recommend it — especially as a refresh!”

-Scott Kuehl, Founder/Pres Brand Resolve

“The training I received helped me to understand the value of being a good listener and using appropriate questions to deepen the dialogue between men. I have participated in many types of men’s bible studies and accountability groups that remain superficial. The training from CBMC has given me the tools to create a richer and more authentic environment for the men in my group. ”

-Gerry Raubach
