“If you are looking for a holistic, God-honoring, development process, look no further than Leader Breakthru’s Local Church Cohort. It is outstanding at developing your strategic skills while leading you deeper in your walk with Christ. As a pastor, I highly recommend it. Terry and his team are outstanding at developing God-honoring leaders. If you can only pick one development process then pick Leader Breakthru’s.”
