Faith Chapel Works With Allen Communication to Develop Online Leadership Training

July 2, 2013 Avatar image of AllenComm By AllenComm

Faith Chapel develops “Just Be A Leader” eLearning leadership courses to expand their reach to business and church leaders and to those globally who are interested in leadership and personal development.

Faith Chapel - eLearningSalt Lake City (July 2, 2013) – Faith Chapel Christian Center, an Alabama-based non-denominational church, has collaborated with Allen Communication Learning Services to create an eLearning course that aids learners in developing key leadership skills that are critical for success. The interactive eLearning course guides the users through various scenarios that are practical and engaging while demonstrating how diverse the role of leadership really is.

Faith Chapel believes that their new training will make a difference in people’s lives by teaching them to incorporate leadership principles into everyday interactions at home, church, work, school, and in their communities.

“We are proud of the way the course has captured and transformed our teachings and portrayed them through real-life stories that learners can easily connect to,” said Pastor Michael D. Moore at Faith Chapel. “It is exciting for us to move into the digital world and we hope these courses can be useful to not only congregants but anyone wanting to develop their leadership skills.”

Allen’s team has incorporated rich graphics, motion video and narratives to engage the learners in course principles. The rich navigation and visuals include an interactive globe, Leadership Lighthouse, and a variety of characters featured in real-world settings.

“The spiritual aspect of this course was new and exciting,” said Ron Zamir, CEO of Allen. “It was great to see how involved all members of the Faith Chapel team were in contributing to the development of this project and it’s rich content. Our team here at Allen did an excellent job incorporating motion graphics and rich media to ensure the course will capture the attention of the audience.”

Faith Chapel is excited about the opportunity to reach learners nationally and globally. The Leadership eLearning courses will be launched summer 2013 and will be publicly available on their website.
