Leadership Development Network (LDN) Pine Tree Director: Pastor Bill Johnson |
|
| There are 14 Leadership Development Networks (LDN’s) in the U.S. and Canada. They are typically a three year evangelist/ church planter training program dealing with necessary knowledge and skills for practical ministry. Some LDN’s also train church leaders such as elders and deacons. This is a program sanctioned and initiated by the Christian Reformed Church of North America. Pine Tree LDN is currently the only LDN for Classis Atlantic Northeast (CANE), although another is slated to come on-line in New Hampshire in the near future. To the right are websites for four LDN’s and links that are associated with the LDN program. |
