The Royal Rangers program provides leader training to mobilize, inspire, and resource leaders to achieve their greatest success and effectiveness. Royal Rangers training is based on three core values:

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT

All classroom and event-based leadership training will have a spiritual emphasis.

RANGER SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Training will focus on the seven methods Royal Rangers use to minister to boys. Ranger skills are a key component of this success.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Leadership development will be key as Royal Rangers moves to become a boy led, adult facilitated ministry.

It takes a leader to mentor new leaders. Training will help Royal Rangers strengthen its leadership core.

Church leadership believes that well trained leaders are the key to any ministry’s success. Pastors understand that a trained volunteer is much more likely to commit their time and can be counted on to show up every week. For these reason, and others, the Royal Rangers program places a high priority on leader training.
