Attend the NICL Training with Dr. Rutland
The National Institute of Christian Leadership (NICL) was designed to be a yearlong intensive leadership training to take your ministry and personal leadership to the next level. This four session course was created for church, ministry, and Christian business leaders.

The yearlong cohort is composed of four separate sessions consisting of 2½ days of intensive training each. The sessions are held once a quarter and are spread out over a year. This four part, yearlong course is only offered at the North Atlanta, Georgia location.
The Cohort was designed to allow leaders to start with any session that fits their schedule. Each session is separate and independent of the others. We have leaders and teams that start in every session.
Bonus: Your enrollment fee allows you to attend the full year by yourself, or you may bring your spouse and up to four additional team members from your ministry to attend this training with you. Dr. Rutland highly recommends training as a team.

SPECIAL INTENSIVE
Dr. Rutland offers week-long intensive training in North Dallas, Texas. He will compact three regular sessions of his NICL training into one week of intensive study. These intensives were designed to help leaders with a stricter travel schedule or those who want to earn credit hours towards a Master’s degree finish training in an expedited manner.
To complete the course, leaders would also need to attend the November Session. Depending on your schedule, you may start with the November session or finish at the November session and graduate. The Intensive track will allow leaders to complete the training in as little as four months with only two travel dates.
Bonus: Your enrollment fee allows you to attend both sessions by yourself, or you may bring three additional team members from your ministry to attend this training with you. Dr. Rutland highly recommends training as a team.

As you work through the four sessions, you’ll gain the leadership principles necessary to navigate crisis in staff management, increase giving, grow your ministry, recruit more volunteers, reduce conflict, increase your brand and influence, and build trust in your staff and congregation. Many senior leaders have stated the NICL should be a requirement before going into full time ministry. As you work through Dr. Rutland’s training, you’ll take away life lessons you wish someone would have told you before you stepped into your first church or ministry. These leadership principles apply to church leaders, Christian business owners and marketplace ministers.
NICL Online graduates are eligible to receive credit hours toward a Master’s degree at participating universities.
