An asset that appreciates with investment.

In our rapidly changing world, churches need to shape people for adaptive leadership, and we especially need this formation to impact young leaders who may go on to influence both church and society for decades to come.

Recognizing these key challenges, the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV), birthed Uptick as a targeted leadership investment for innovative young leaders. Since 2007, Uptick has been noted as a global Baptist leader for best practices in developing high capacity young leaders.

In this thoughtful, practical book, John Chandler shares what he’s learned in over a decade of leading Uptick and offers a blueprint for finding and forming the next generation of pioneering leaders. Packed with insights and ideas, this book will enable you to become more effective in developing missionally-minded, kingdom leaders, whatever your context.

ENDORSEMENTS

“Chandler sought to pioneer a leadership development vehicle that would invest in a generation of young vibrant leaders on the cusp of uncovering their own potential. In doing so, he built and unleashed a movement of high capacity, agile leaders who are building their own movements within their spheres of influence. This book—part memoir, part manual—shares how he did it. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to invest in a fresh generation of leaders, and a valuable resource.”

This book is filled with the most significant ministry lessons John has learned in over a decade of devoting himself to the development of young, pioneering missional leaders. It is experientially rich and practically helpful. If you want to help the church live the future in the present, pick up this book.”
