Christian Leadership Training

Equipping pastors, elders, and church leaders across India with the theological depth, practical skills, and spiritual character needed to faithfully shepherd God's people.

Training Pastors for Faithful Ministry

The greatest need of the Indian church today is well-equipped, godly leaders. Paul's instruction to Timothy rings as true now as it did two millennia ago: "What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2).

Good News 360 is committed to raising up the next generation of church leaders through rigorous theological training, practical ministry skills, and intentional mentoring. Our annual conference brings together pastors, missionaries, Bible students, and church leaders for four days of intensive equipping through the expository study of God's Word.

Whether you are a seasoned senior pastor, a young man discerning a call to ministry, or a lay leader serving in your local church, our leadership training resources are designed to strengthen your faith, sharpen your skills, and deepen your commitment to Christ and His Church.

Biblical Qualifications for Church Leaders

From 1 Timothy 3:1–7

"If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money..."

From Titus 1:6–9

"Appoint elders in every town... if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers... He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it."

"Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight..." — 1 Peter 5:2
