Testimonials

"The Next Leadership Association is challenging independent young leaders by directing them to be creative in expressing their faith and doing so outside of the simplistic political ideology that so dominates Evangelical Christianity in today's world. My prayer is that they will do much to bring forth the kind of people that the church needs for the 21st Century."

"Next Leadership Association is a community of men and women who believe that Jesus is calling His body to re-envision what it means to follow Him as He brings in His Kingdom. The challenge for future church leaders will be to shatter the presuppositions and myths that keep us from aligning ourselves with the purposes of God in a changing, fragmenting world. This is a daunting task and a high calling, yet NLA stands ready to facilitate and resource that conversation."
