The Crucible of Fit
Board to Leadership Pathway
At RHM, leadership is proven through faithful service, governable character, and ethical competence. A structured one-year engagement — open to any timeline that works for you.
Our Leadership Pathway
Five Phases of Formation
While structured for a one-year engagement, it is fully open to whatever timeline works for you. The goal is formation, not the calendar.
Board Service & Governance
Your foundation in ministry leadership — serving on the board, participating in committees, and learning the governance structure of RHM.
Training & Development
RHSBC-integrated leadership formation covering ethics, compliance, biblical counseling foundations, and ministry accountability.
Project Development
Build a real proposal addressing a ministry need and present it to the board — proving vision, initiative, and servant leadership.
Mentorship & Accountability
Guided formation from Dr. Jeffrey Gross and senior board leadership — shaping character, calling, and competency together.
Grant & Funding Competency
Develop skills for sustaining ministry through stewardship — grant writing, donor relationships, and financial modeling.
