Founded by Leaders for Leaders
A personal word from
Dr. C. Faith Fredrick, FCU founder:
Leading Faith Christian University was an exciting journey of developing curriculum, creating new programs, and the unique opportunity of utilizing the online technology now available. In 2015 I became aware that it was time for me to increase my effectiveness as a leader so I took part in an intensive leadership program. I knew God ordained this endeavor, not only for me, but in 2017, it became apparent that I needed to develop a dedicated leadership program at Faith Christian University. The first step was to gather a group of like-minded leaders and begin the process. It took 2 years but in 2019 we finalized the curriculum and recorded all the lectures to launch this academic program.
This Leadership Program is designed to shift mindsets, transform lives, and multiply your influence. It includes personal development and active steps to increase your effectiveness. Learn to connect, be more intentional, and go from average to extraordinary. Taught by experienced, educated entrepreneurs, ministers and business leaders who are passionate about influencing and impacting the lives of others.

The Leadership Institute Program Courses
Leadership Development 101
Personal growth and leadership development is the foundation of The Leadership Institute. This course is inspiring, encouraging, and life-changing. Students will strengthen their purpose and move toward their potential.
The Intentional Leader
This course focuses on skills and processes to be an intentional leader who understands how to think, strategize, and plan according to the giftings and purpose, both personally and for those around them.
Abundant Leadership
Why do some leaders never seem to move into the arena of real success? It seems so close, yet so far away. This course will focus on "discovering the keys to unlocking the greatness in you.”
Successful Conflict Resolution
Organizations, churches, ministries, families, and marriages recognize the necessity of strategically avoiding and even managing conflict. Successful Conflict Resolution provides specific mediation skills and tools for successfully preventing, managing, and resolving conflict.
Developing a Leadership Culture
This course is designed to examine the most critical and impactful components of effective leadership and team dynamics. It is a practical assessment with both sound theory and real-life context. The desired outcome is a clear and comprehensive understanding for the impact that connecting will have on a leader’s ability to optimize the results that are produced by his or her team. Moreover, the course will provide active steps that the student can take to enhance their effectiveness.
Communicating to Connect
Students will study importance of communication as a leader in all the different capacities we are involved with influencing people. Speaking skills as well as connecting skills will be studied, demonstrated and practiced in order to develop the student to effectively interact with people individually, groups or audiences. The students will learn how important it is to develop one’s skill as a speaker.
Leadership Development 202
This course is foundational to continue our personal growth and development to becoming an effective and successful leader. It will reveal how to develop the vision, values, influence, and motivation that are trademarks of a successful leader.
Leading with Purpose
Leading with Purpose begins with discovering your own purpose without setting limits. This course will help to define your purpose and set your course through invaluable truths and the principles of God’s Word. By examining the lives and stories of such biblical examples as Joseph, King David, and Jesus and His disciples, the elements of one’s personal destiny will be made more and more evident through the understanding of God’s divine process toward your purpose.
Leadership Challenges
This course will provide a road map for winning by examining the eleven elements that constitute the DNA of learners who succeed even in the face of problems, failures, and losses. Learning is not easy during down times. It takes discipline to do the right thing when something goes wrong. As John Maxwell often points out, experience isn't the best teacher--evaluated experience is.
Transitional Leadership
Transition and change is a part of life. Whether it is chosen or thrust upon you, change brings both opportunities and turmoil. This class will deal with transition on a personal, professional, and ministry level - both planned and unplanned. The focus for this class will be to provide essential truths from a biblical perspective, as well as practical application, both in the student’s personal life, ministry and wherever God may lead. Included in this class will be understanding God’s divine process in transition as seen in the lives of several biblical examples.
Strategic Planning
Habakkuk 2:2 states, “The Lord answered me, and said, ‘Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run who reads it.’” This course will provide truths and tools for you to execute your God-given vision successfully. Students will be presented with a conceptual framework that details key components on an effective strategic plan, such as prayer, vision, mission, guiding principles, values, goals, and objectives. Biblical strategic thinking and planning is the focus.
