Leadership Academy

The Leadership Academy of First Board Street United Methodist Church is dedicated to the development of leadership skills in church members and adding to their knowledge of our Methodist tradition and Christian faith.  This is our third academy, and it continues to evolve through experience, study and prayer.  The classes are held monthly from September through May, and meet from 8:30-10:30 a.m. on the first Sunday of each month (unless it falls on a holiday and then meets the second Sunday) in Bright Hall.
