Letter from the JRLC Director

Jon Spence, Ed.D.

Dear Students,

Whether a leader is born or made, he can only go so far without purposeful training. The James River Leadership College was established to strengthen the local church by developing leaders in a dynamic and practical way. With the partnership between James River Assembly of God in Ozark, Missouri and Central Bible College, the James River Leadership College offers an Associate of Arts Degree in Pastoral Ministries. This degree, accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Accreditation Association as well as the Association of Biblical Higher Education, provides students with the academic start to compelling ministry preparation. In addition, students are active in practical ministry offered by the church in order to apply what is learned in the classroom. If the James River Leadership College is what you are looking for, then apply on line today. We look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Jon Spence signature
