About the Partnership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Center for Leadership Excellence offers the opportunity for our Conference’s churches to become a part of something bigger. Become a Partnering Congregation in the Center’s vision of growing and deepening clergy and laity leadership across the NC Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are four levels of giving, renewed annually. Each level supports the Center in its initiatives and gives the pastor plus a team (clergy or laity) complementary admission to Days of Learning for a year. Join anytime by emailing cle@nccumc.org!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
