CREST Leadership Development

Crest is a new and innovative way to accelerate leadership development for adults, marrying the
best of what we know about how adults learn, and how leaders are developed. Rather than give
students pre-packaged conclusions about leadership, CREST takes you through a 2 year process to
conduct a thorough self analysis, a re-thinking of paradigms, a re-visioning of your life purpose
and mission, observing multiple leaders in action, re-commitment at a deeper level to God and
character foundations. Successful completion of the course earns you a Certificate in Leadership via a very unique method. Those desiring to earn a Masters in Christian Leadership can do so by taking a third year.
WCAC Members receive a $500.00 discount on tuition.

|
|
www.hireresults.ca
The goal of Hire Results Ltd. (HRL) is to assist church search committees in making sound hiring decisions
through an effective external referencing process. Traditional Reference checking often yields only surface
information; however, On-Demand 360° Referencing® is a tool which will provide accurate, honest, job specific
information to the search team. HRL will walk each Church and Candidate through the referencing process,
committing to assist the Church in managing the risk factors associated with hiring.
WCAC member churches receive pre-designed profiles specifically for their positions at a special,
flat fee price of only $150 per Candidate (includes Benchmark Scoring, Candidate Self-Scoring,
and up to 5 Reference scores). This is discounted from $1500 to develop a list of key attributes
for their position.
Churches may decide to only reference their final candidate, or may want to reference the short listed group
of candidates. Click here for all the details…
