Empowering Youth Leaders and Ministry

Welcome to our Youth Leadership Development Program, where we are dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders. Through the wisdom of experience, intentional preparation, and staying relevant in a changing world, we equip young and new youth and children ministry Pastor and their teams with the essential skills they need to lead effectively. Proverbs 27:17 reminds us, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another," emphasizing the importance of learning from others and the value of mentorship in leadership.​

 

Our programs are specifically tailored to your churches needs and focuses on building key leadership competencies, fostering teamwork, and encouraging personal growth. 1 Timothy 4:7 encourages us to "train yourself to be godly," highlighting the importance of preparation in developing a strong, effective leader.​Through workshops, mentorship, and hands-on experiences, we provide opportunities for young leaders to grow in their ability to serve their immediate church community inside the four walls and to also serve the wider communities with purpose and passion.

 

 

As we prepare for tomorrow’s challenges, we draw inspiration from Ecclesiastes 3:1: "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens," reminding us to remain relevant and adaptable in our leadership. Join us in shaping the leaders of tomorrow, and let’s build a brighter future together!​

Land Acknowledgement & Community Commitment

 

EL Shama Consulting Inc. acknowledges that we live, work, and serve on Treaty 6 territory, the traditional lands of many First Nations, including the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, and Inuit, and it is also the Métis homeland.

​

We recognize and honor the deep histories, cultures, and contributions of the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for these lands long before colonization. This acknowledgement is more than a formality, it is a living act of respect, learning, and reconciliation.

 

As a Black-led, faith-informed, and community-centered organization, we are committed to building a future where we all live, work, raise families, and worship together in equity and mutual respect. We honor the past not to be held back by it, but to learn from it, grow with it, and move forward with humility and hope.

 

Together, we are part of a beautiful and diverse mosaic, not defined by our differences, but strengthened by them.
