The Sunshine Center advocates for the growing number of children and their families with disabilities in our community.

A Comprehensive Toolkit to Equip Senior Pastors to Lead Through Changing Times
Mastermind
ELEVATE YOUR LEADERSHIP - ENERGIZE YOUR CHURCH
Growth is a fundamental desire of all human beings. The very essence of becoming a fully faithful servant of Christ requires growth.
Maybe you are feeling a bit stuck. Maybe you are in the midst of a particularly challenging period of change and are looking for insight, encouragement, or direction. Or maybe you just want all the resources you can get on your side as you pursue your own goals and dreams. Join forces with leaders such as David Ashcraft, CEO of Global Leadership Network, Terry Storch, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of YouVersion and a pastor at Life.Church, and Dr. Michelle Fleming, a Director for the Townsend Leadership Program to elevate your leadership and energize your organization.
“Ministry to ministers is ministry to the multitudes.”
Entrepreneurs, CEOs, lead pastors, and business executives all face challenges to their growth. Dr. James L. Davis, who has studied churches, universities, and businesses over thirty years, states: “Whether it be a nonprofit or for-profit entity, one thing is for sure: When an organization plateaus, the capacity of the leader has been defined".”
Are you a candidate for Mastermind 2025?
LDI Serve’s 2026 Mastermind is well underway. Twenty of the country’s notable Christian leaders and thinkers gather for two in-person sessions at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens and monthly Zoom sessions.
