California Lutheran University received a five-year grant to create the Thriving Leadership Formation (TLF) Program.  Working in partnership with Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary and 11 synods of the ELCA, the TLF program will help pastors, deacons and church leaders strengthen leadership skills, while encouraging them to deepen their engagement with their congregations and communities. This effort will emphasize collaborative learning in cohorts that cultivate mutual support, practices, and accountability, and provide pastors and church leaders with mentoring, spiritual direction and coaching.

TLF seeks to foster relational, creative, Spirit-led, compassionate forms of ministry that are deeply responsive to local communities. There are a variety of opportunities for participants to be involved that encourage and equip leaders to live out their faith in ways that make a difference in the world.
