Celtic Cross was created in 1995 and is considered a model for church leadership development programs. It is designed to challenge students to think theologically about vocation and to consider their call to professional or lay leadership in the church or in the community.
Elements of the Celtic Cross program include:
- Travel Experiences including international travel and attending national conferences. Read about our retreat to Charleston.
- Year-long programing with guest speakers sharing insights on different areas of Church leaderships.
- Mentorship programs with partner churches that include participating in worship, mission, youth ministry, or other areas of leadership.
- Contextual Exploration Retreats to examine unique intersections of church leadership and culture in places such as Charleston, Charlotte, and Atlanta.
The Celtic Cross program at Presbyterian College is traveling in Germany to explore themes of Resistance and Reformation. In the city of Berlin we have encountered many powerful examples of thriving ministries (both historic and contemporary) that model these themes for future church leaders.
