To Connect Adventist Growing Leaders
The LeadLab Network

LeadLab is more than a program — it’s a movement. Across divisions and ministries, leaders are experimenting, growing, and sharing what they’re learning. The LeadLab Network connects those who are applying LeadLab principles in their own contexts — to learn from one another and to multiply leadership growth worldwide.
