Mosaic Institute is a conference-based, Anabaptist school of leadership for newly credentialed leaders, experienced pastors, Conference Related Ministry leaders, and lay leaders in Mosaic congregations and beyond.
Our priorities:
- To foster relationships within Mosaic Conference.
- To provide orientation for newly credentialed leaders and leaders who come to us from other traditions.
- To help people grow into our conference priorities of being missional, intercultural, and formational.
- To encourage the growth of leadership, skills, and theological formation for our lay leaders and pastors without seminary education.
