Overview
Join us on September 15th from 7:00–8:30 p.m. for an evening with renowned author and speaker Crawford Loritts as he explores Leadership: What It Takes To Wield Lasting Influence.
In a world that often equates leadership with charisma, credentials, and communication skills, Dr. Loritts invites us to consider a deeper foundation. Drawing from decades of ministry and leadership experience, he will present a compelling vision rooted in four essential qualities: brokenness, communion, servanthood, and obedience. These aren't quick leadership hacks. They're the marks of a life formed by God.
Whether you're leading in the church, the marketplace, or your own home, this talk will challenge and encourage you to lead from a place of spiritual depth.
