LeaderTrack 2023 Pathways
In 2023, we commence our LeaderTrack, offering two pathway options: ACOM Certificate or Diploma, or Formation Year. Both provide access to cohorted experiences and extra compulsory elements.
If participants are undertaking studies with providors other than ACOM, we can offer a solution that includes the experiences and content unique to ConneXa. We may also suggest undertaking the Formation Year journey in addition to their existing studies.
For those wanting to go further, our second year will build on the first. Those who have completed Certificate level, can complete a Diploma of Ministry. Those who have done Formation Year can undertake the Certificate of Ministry.

ANEWLEADER
"Despite 30 years of heightened focus in training - we have fewer high calbre leaders than ever. Academic systems create academics. Only a leadership system can create leaders."
By integrating accredited content streams with competency-based outcomes, we are embarking on the exciting and ambitious goal of producing a new generation of high-capacity church leaders.
ConneXa provides: Cohorts; shared experiences; stretching assignments; innovative content; exposure to proven leaders.
How does Leader Track work?
Our primary goal is to equip you as a leader in the local church setting.
That requires more than an academic qualification. Leaders are made by other leaders. They need key relationships, stretching experiences, an encounter with God and the right information.
With the primary goal in mind, we ensure all ingredients for growing healthy leaders are in place.
We have formed a strategic relationship with ACOM as our academic providor, and wrap that content in a powerful and life-growing context.
