Preparing for Leadership

Leaders-in-Rural-Churches---Innocent-Justice-Spotlight
Pastor Innocent Justice has helped the congregation at Duke’s Chapel “push the boundaries” of their church.

Rural churches can be a powerful force in creating more vibrant rural communities, especially when a strong and visionary minister is at the helm. To help prepare ministers for service in rural congregations, The Duke Endowment supports several clergy leadership programs at Duke Divinity School.
