Background

The idea behind the Charlotte Leadership Forum grew out of the desire of four men in their 50s and 60s to help younger men grow and develop in their relationship with God, and in their effectiveness as leaders in their families, churches, and communities. Sam Cornwell, Steady Cash, Don Wrigley, and Bud Carrier have been friends for over 30 years, and for over 20 years have met weekly to share their lives with each other. During their times together, they often discussed their interest in, and sympathy for, young family men caught in the middle of conflicting demands on their time and resources. Out of these discussions came the concept of impacting the lives of young leaders by helping them develop a vision for God’s call on their lives, and by helping them learn how to implement that vision.

Wives:
Although the Forum was originally conceived as primarily a ministry to men, it has developed into a ministry to both husbands and wives.

The program will include an outdoor adventure and other activities designed to help participants bond with each other.
